Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community will be celebrating starting this weekend? Saturday evening begins the Jewish holiday of Passover. Passover commemorates the Jewish peoples’ liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt and their freedom as a nation under the leadership of Moses around 1300 or 1400 BCE. It is a joyous holiday celebrated for either 7 or 8 days. During this time, Jews gather to tell the story of the Exodus (leaving of Egypt) and share a meal, called a Seder, where most items eaten are symbolic of some occurrence in the Passover story. Thinking about and vowing to help people who are currently living with injustice is a part of many Jews’ Passover celebrations. We wish all people at WMS observing this holiday, a “happy Passover,” or “Chag Sameach.”
There will be no late bus to Boston today. All students riding to Boston need to take the 2:30 pm bus.
Have a good day everyone!
