Jewish Festival of Passover

Tuesday 19 April 2011



Around 70 people attended the prayers and meal held at Trelissick Gardens near Truro.
Passover celebrates the Israelites' liberation from Egypt by Moses, and lasts for eight days.
During that time Jewish people follow a special diet.
Passover's name comes from the last of the 10 plagues on Egypt in the Bible.
It is said that the angel of death 'passed over' the homes of the Jews in Egypt, saving their first born from death.
Before celebrations can begin the house must be cleaned from top to bottom to remove any traces of chametz (leaven) from the home.
This commemorates the Jews leaving Egypt who did not have time to let their bread rise, but also symbolises removing 'puffiness' (arrogance, pride) from their souls.
The day before Passover begins there is a ritual search for chametz in every home. The children usually join in with great enthusiasm.
The Haggadah is a book which tells in 14 steps the story of the Jewish experience in Egypt and of the Exodus and revelation of God.
As the story of each of the ten plagues is read out a drop of wine is spilt to remind Jews that their liberation was tinged with sadness at the suffering of the Egyptians.
The Four Questions
The haggadah also contains songs, blessings, psalms and Four Questions. These four questions are:
Why do we eat unleavened bread?
Unleavened bread or matzo is eaten to remember the Exodus when the Israelites fled Egypt with their dough to which they had not yet added yeast.
Why do we eat bitter herbs?
Bitter herbs, usually horseradish, are included in the meal to represent the bitterness of slavery.
Why do we dip our food in liquid?
At the beginning of the meal a piece of potato is dipped in salt water to recall the tears the Jews shed as slaves.
Why do we eat in a reclining position?
In ancient times, people who were free reclined on sofas while they ate. Today cushions are placed on chairs to symbolise freedom and relaxation, in contrast to slavery.
Usually the youngest person present will ask the questions and the father will respond.
The paradox of this is that these four questions should be asked spontaneously, but celebrations cannot happen unless they are asked.

Devin McCourty: Cover corner to cover model

Monday 4 April 2011



When Devin McCourty was growing up in suburban New York, he’d snatch the Eastbay catalog out of the mailbox, bring it to school, and find a free moment. Just like all his friends, he’d circle the apparel he coveted.
“A lot of times I didn’t get everything I wanted — my mom used to say ‘no’ — but we’d pick out a bunch of different things,” McCourty told the Herald yesterday. “You could never get everything you wanted.” Although I was not able to get everything from my mom that I wanted but there was something growing in myself that was giving me push to get every thing that I wanted.

Life is a little different now for the Patriots [team stats] cornerback, a Pro Bowler as a rookie. With seven interceptions and a reputation as one of the NFL’s rising stars, his world has changed.
The latest example? McCourty recently concluded a photo shoot to be on the cover of Eastbay, and he left with an armful of merchandise. In real life Hurdles Come which doesn't allow you to get exactly everything about which you have thought in your childhood because to control such hurdles is not possible for a human being because of less abilities that God has granted to man.


“I got some pretty cool gear and stuff to work out in,” McCourty said. “This is definitely on the top of the list of things that’s happened to me so far. To think about all the different houses this magazine will be in, kids’ll be looking at the cover, I can’t even really describe it.”
The workout gear, of course, takes on added importance this season.
The NFL enters the third week of its lockout with escalating labor strife. Players are barred from working out in their team’s facilities, including Gillette Stadium.
No worries for McCourty.
The 2010 first-round pick spends his time at Rutgers, his alma mater, training with fellow Scarlet Knights stars such as Titans cornerback and twin brother Jason McCourty, Jaguars receiver Tiquan Underwood, and Bucs lineman Jeremy Zuttah. Current RU athletes who performed at their Pro Day are always around, too.
t’s not the same as offseason conditioning, but it’s close. “It hasn’t been offseason with the team, but we’ve had quite a few guys,” McCourty said. “We’ve all just been working out here, looking at each other’s workouts and putting them together. It hasn’t been as bad as it could be, struggling to find somewhere to get good work.”
In addition to the weight-room activities, McCourty and his brethren have migrated between the hash marks for football drills.
“One good thing is we’ve been able to actually go on the field,” he said, “and do a couple one-on-ones and different things like that. We all came out of college like 1-3 three years apart. We’re all still fresh in the league, still getting after it.”
Last week at the NFL’s annual meetings, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked what expectation he had for his players returning from the lockout.
“All 32 teams are in the same boat,” Belichick said. “We’ll see them when we get back.”
