Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Coalition for Jewish Values managing director, told Newsmax on Friday that Passover is a “great example” of “how education can be done in a way that involves adults and children.”
“To put it in modern terms, it’s a great example of parental control of education because you have parents sitting down with their children, with their extended family, talking about the miracles that happened to the Jewish people back in Egypt, the miraculous rescue from horrible conditions of enslavement,” Menken said on “Wake Up America.” “There are so many things done in the Seder to convey that message to children, to keep them interested, to keep them aware – and awake, at that hour – and that’s a great part of the holiday, is just the way that the whole family comes together to bring this message alive.”
This year, the Jewish holiday of Passover, which celebrates the deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, begins at sundown Saturday and ends at nightfall on April 20. During the first two nights of Passover, a Seder (candle-lit dinner) is eaten, which is comprised of ceremonial foods to commemorate the flight of the Israelites from Egypt, including unleavened bread called matzo that resembles a large, flat cracker.
