Rabbi Mordechai Bulua reminds us:
How did Passover get its name?
Since the Seder table is usually made larger, people can’t reach for the
items on the table and invariably ask others: “Could you please Pass Over
the matzos . . .”
How is a good sermon like a piece of matzo?
They both should take less than 18 minutes!
And a story. A little boy once returned home from Hebrew school and his
father asked, “What did you learn today?”
He answered, “The Rabbi told us how Moses led the children of Israel out of
Egypt.”
“How?”
The boy said “Moses was a big strong man and he beat Pharaoh up. Then while
he was down, he got all the people together and ran towards the sea. He used
his tanks and air force to pin down Pharaoh’s army. When they reached the
Red Sea, Moses has the Corps of Engineers build a huge pontoon bridge. Once
they got on the other side, they blew up the bridge while the Egyptians were
trying to cross.”
The father was shocked. “Is that what the Rabbi taught you?”
The boy replied, “No. But you’d never believe the story he DID tell us!”
