March 27, 2021

Good morning everyone, today is March 27, 2021, Saturday. Well hear is is upon us again the weekend,an end to a pretty good week and the beginning of one of the busiest of the year. The weather also looks like it will cooperate so far. Yesterday was beautiful and then turned windy but not cold. When the sun came out around 11 it was perfect out so I quickly went for my walk on the way I saw 4 purple Croceuses and the daffodils starting to grow, I thought to myself what a welcomed sight, spring is here.

Why is this a busy week you ask, well tonight starts Passover, the holiest of holy for the Jewish people, let me the first to wish all who celebrate a Happy and healthy Passover. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday the start of Holy Week the holy of holiest week for the Christian people in preparation for Easter. I like when they coincide with each other as it mostly does. It shows me that one religion is based on the other, I like the history of it all. Jesus entered Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover seder when he was festooned with palms as he entered the city. At that Seder the mystery of the Christian faith was born. So without one there would not be the other.

Again we can ask why is there such animosity when we really are basically the same at the core. But that has been the question asked for over 2 millenniums, and it is certainly not something I could even begin to answer because I don’t understand it. But then again I have tolerance and I respect and welcome people for their differences. I will enjoy some matzoh this week and I must have my matzoh bre , eggs crushed motzoh and onions fried almost like a pancake. As I am sure many Jewish children will enjoy bitting the ears of a chocolate Easter bunny. I always thought this saying was cliche but it is true Why can’t we just get along.
Now today looks good so let’s take advantage of it and enjoy ourselves. Something fun to do or even remembering it will make us all happy. Let’s take a trip back sixty years and buy something new to wear for Easter, girls a new dress and of course a hat , boys a new shirt and tie maybe even a suit. Whatever you choose. Well whatever you do today let it bring you pleasure because we have a big week ahead. Til Tomorrow!
