The History and Meaning of Passover and Holy Week Observances
The Observance of Jewish Passover and Christian Holy Week culminating at Easter are integral parts of the American religious scene. But what is it we are celebrating? Where did these traditions originate and do they hold true today?
Guests:
Rabbi Jonathan Berkun, Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center
Lesley Northup, Ph.D., Florida International University

Rabbi Dr. Yaakov Thompson, Sunrise Jewish Center
Has anyone wondered why the Gospel of Peter and Mary have been left out of the modern Bible? Peter as far as I know is the only gospel to give a real time description of the Rescurrection.

Sunday, March 28 - The History and Meaning of Passover
The two Rabbis could not state how long ago was the first Passover, in Egypt.
Appx. ca. 1496 BCE (2454 Hebrew Year from Creation), and some say ca. 1476 BCE.
Lesley Northup's guess (ca. 1000 BCE) was off by 500 years.
Both Rabbis stated the wrong date for The Passover:
Rabbis = 15 Nisan (A day late)
Torah = 14 Nisan... at sunset (twilight, dusk, at the beginning of 14 Nisan) - Exodus 12:6, and following, to 13:10
God emphasized, 16 times, in those Torah passages that The Passover MUST be observed on the 14th day.
Observed as a memorial, at its appointed time, as a permanent ordinance, throughout all generations, on that same day, forever.
What could possibly be more clear and concise?
Anytime God waxes repetitious, attaining a significantly profound level of superfluous redundancy, it is definitely
an occasion to devote rapt attention to whatever it is that God is placing such tremendously intense emphasis upon.
