As a Festival of Freedom, it constitutes the central point in many Jewish prayers. The name of the holiday is derived from the Biblical account of God's passing over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he smote the first-born of the Egyptians. The chief distinguishing feature of the holiday is the eating 6f matzoth or unleavened bread. 1t represents the "bread of affliction and poverty" hurriedly made because the Israelites were forced to flee Egypt in haste. The home celebration also plays an important part in the festival.

On the first two evenings the "Seder" or "Order of the Service" is conducted at the feast. These meals serve AS a great occasion for the teunion of family and the renewal of friendships. The Haggadah or "The Story" is the book used at the Seder. It contains the order of service and extracts from the Bible, Talmud, Psalms, Prayer Book, and special prayers and songs. After Passover, a musical, featuring a rare collection of talented performers, has been arranged by Samuel Lipitz.

Some of the guest artists will be David Pokitflow. concert violinist; Bernard Zaritsky, gifted young composer and arranger; Dorothy Lyman, well-known harpist; an instrumental quintet consisting of A. Capone, J. Fairfield, M. Garelick, A.
