Re: [Cz-L] Pesach

PESSACH is not necessarily a strictly religious holiday.
It is also a spring festival and a celebration of our freedom,
which even if we achieved it thousands of years ago,
we should remember and be thankful for, for ever.

Along the way it also became the time of year, when women
thoroughly cleaned their houses and when people, at least symbolically,
opened their houses to the poor, to come and eat with them.
