These faith holidays rarely align
From the Columbia Missourian:
For the first time since 1991, the observance of Ramadan, Good Friday and Passover aligned.
For all three religions — Islam, Christianity and Judaism — the holidays represent a time of reflection.
For Muslims, Friday fell within the month of Ramadan, a season of fasting and prayer to celebrate God’s delivery of the holy word.
For Christians, it was Good Friday, a day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus.
And for Jews, Friday marked the first day of Passover, an eight-day celebration of the exodus of Israelites from slavery.
This overlap of all three religious holidays is rare because of the different calendars followed by each faith.
Borrowed the following shared by Ken Bernstein (teacherken) at Daily Kos whose wife’s friend got it from a friend, etc.
Top ten signs you might be at a Republican seder
10. They refuse to answer the four questions without a subpoena.
9. They demand a recount of the ten plagues.
8. They defend not increasing the minimum wage on the grounds that according to Chad Gadya it still costs only two zuzzimto buy a goat.
7. The afikomen is hidden in the Caymen Islands.
6. They refuse to open the door for Elijah until they see his immigration papers.
5. They attack Moses for negotiating a deal with Pharoah because why would we negotiate with our enemies?
4. They don’t understand why the Egyptians didn’t cure the plagues with hydroxychloroquine.
3. They omit the parts about slavery from the Haggadah because it reminds them of Critical Race Theory.
2. They keep saying “when do we get to the miracle of the Jewish space lasers?”
And the number one sign that you might be at a Republican seder:
1. They end the seder by singing “Next year in Mar-a-Lago.”
HAPPY PASSOVER
