Nitzanim is exploring Pesach (Passover) through the lens of the
Four Questions. By the time Pesach comes, we’ll be ready to ask
them in Hebrew. This week we’re reviewing the Exodus story and
starting to recognize, speak, and write key Hebrew words about
the Four Questions: - מצה (matzah - unleavened bread) - מרור
(maror - bitter herb) - שתי פעמים (shtay fe’ameem - two times,
referring to two dippings, parsley into salt water and bitter
herb into charoset) - מסובין (misubeen - reclining, referring to
how we recline at the seder table while we eat) Next week, we’ll
start thinking about how these unusual actions at the seder
relate to the Exodus story. We were amazed at what the children
recall from previous years’ Pesach experiences. It’s a wonderful
foundation they’re starting with this year.
