PASSOVER FEAST TO BE OBSERVED Members of Jewish Faith Will Prepare to Note Annual Event Members of the Jewish faith are preparing to observe the annual event known as the Feast of the Passover, which will begin Wednesday evening, April 8.

The festival 1s one of a cycle of three which are designated in the Bible 88 "Pilgrim Festivals," on which all males were in ancient times duty bound to make a pilgrimage to the Holy City. According to the Bible, Passover is to be kept for seven days, but orthodox Jews in the lands of the diaspora observe it for eight days. The Jews of Palestine, however, strictly follow the ordinance of the Bible. In ancient times Passover had an agricultural significance, marking the beginning of the harvest season. Since post-exilic days, however, Passover has largely lost its agricultural meaning, and it has come to be primarily the great festival of freedom, commemorating that great event in Israel's history when it cast off the chains of Egyptian slavery and became a free and Independent people.

Passover then spoken of as Israel's birthday. It is this story of liberation which Is told in great detail at the Seder service. A special feast is served at the home in which all the members and friends of the family participate. Strangers, too, are invited, since it Is an ancient Jewish tradition that none shall suffer want on this great night. The feast is rich in symbolisms, all of which are explained by head of the family from a special rituni, that eve, known "Haggadah." In this ritual the entire story of the ancient liberation is explained in an interesting manner.
