What makes a place holy or special?

1. Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem – Built over the site where, according to Christian tradition, Jesus was born. This is the oldest complete church in the Christian world. Bethlehem is also believed to be the birthplace and hometown of King David, as well as the traditional site of Rachel’s Tomb.
2. Garden of Gethsemane, Outskirts of Jerusalem – Located near the foot of the Mount of Olives, this garden is named in the New Testament as the place where Jesus went with his disciples to pray the night before he was crucified (Matthew 26:30-56). 
3. Via Dolorosa, Old City of Jerusalem – Every Friday afternoon hundreds of Christians join in a procession stopping at 14 Stations of the Cross, as they identify with the suffering of Jesus on his way to crucifixion.
4. Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Old City of Jerusalem – Many Christians believe this is where Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected. 
5. Basilica of the Annunciation, Nazareth – Here, it is believed, the archangel Gabriel told the young Mary that she would become the mother of the Son of God, and Mary consented, stating, “Let it be done to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38).
6. Qasr el Yahud (“Castle of the Jews”) – Located on the banks of the Jordan River not far from Jericho, this is, according to Matthew 3:13-17, where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
7. Capernaum, Galilee – A lakeside village beside the Sea of Galilee, this became Jesus’ home and the scene of many of his miracles in the Gospels. It was also the home of the first disciples: Peter, Andrew, James, John, and Matthew.
8. Mount of Beatitudes, Galilee – This beautiful hilltop overlooking the Sea of Galilee is believed to be the setting for Jesus’ most famous address, the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-7:28). It is also understood to be the place where Jesus met his apostles after his resurrection.
9. The Jesus Trail, Nazareth to the Mount of Beatitudes – A 65 km (40 mile) pilgrimage route connecting many sites from the life and ministry of Jesus.
10. Mount of Olives (Mount Olivet) – A major site of pilgrimage for Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestants where several key events of the life of Jesus took place including the Acts of the Apostles and where Jesus rose to heaven.

The Seder Plate is the story of Passover on one single plate. The Seder plate is a most efficient and symbolic way to make sure that the major themes of Passover are never forgotten.

Breaking Matzo presents Numbers have special significance in Judaism. Nowhere in our tradition is this clearer than in the Seder ritual. In the Seder we have one, two, three, four, and five. Why? 1.33 min.

Breaking Matzo - Time and again, the Jewish people were forced to leave their homes, beginning with the expulsion from Jerusalem, and continuing through our history. Interestingly, there is no “Israeli” recipe for Charoset. Perhaps that is because Charoset is a food of slavery, and in returning to Israel Jews are free. 1:32 minutes

This week, we’re exploring the Jewish holiday of Passover or Pesach in Hebrew. One of the major themes of the holiday is exodus or freedom. And yes, we totally get the irony of that this year. The centerpiece of the holiday is the seder. That’s the ritual feast held to retell the story of the Israelites’ salvation from slavery in Egypt. Although the seder is celebrated around the world, like so many Jewish practices, how it’s celebrated differs from community to community, and even from family to family.

In Hebrew, calendar is called “Ha-Luah ha-Ivri” (הַלּוּחַ הָעִבְרִי)), and is a lunar-solar, predominantly for Jewish religious observances. It determines the dates for Jewish holidays, Bible readings, Torah portions, and for other ceremonial uses. In the land of Israel, the Jewish calendar is used to provide a time frame for agriculture and for civil purposes. The present Jewish calendar is the product of evolution, including a Babylonian influence. The Hebrew lunar year has 354 days instead of 365, making every year shorter than the solar year or Gregorian calendar. Therefore, the Jewish calendar added one month every two or three years to correct for the difference between twelve lunar months and the solar year. The year in which it was added was based on observation of natural agriculture-related events in ancient Israel. This way ensures that Passover remains to be a spring festival, Pentecost a harvest time, and Tabernacles during the fall. 20:43 min.
