Passover is a Jewish holiday, of Biblical origin, marking the birth of the Jews as a people and their emergence as a unique nation in history, devoted to G-d's will. It celebrates the liberation of the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt over 3000 years ago, under the leadership of Moses. This year Passover starts on Monday night, April 5, 2004. The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment http://www.j.co.il has several entertaining features for Passover: Passover Trivia In what Hebrew month is Passover celebrated ? Why do we eat matzah during Passover ? How old was Moshe's mother when she gave birth to Moshe ? How long did the Jews' exile in Egypt last ? Where did the Jews live in Egypt ? How many days did the plague of blood last ? What happened to Pharoh's daughter, Batiya, when the Jewish people left Egypt ? The above questions are examples from the multiple choice Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings. Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable. Passover Clipart Whether you need a picture for your child's class project, a graphic for your synagogue, Hillel or JCC Passover announcement, the Jewish Clipart Database has the pictures for you. You can copy, save and print the graphics in three different sizes. Passover Word Search Game Enter the Multilingual Word Search game and choose the language you would like to play in: English, Hebrew or Russian. There is an easy mode for the kids and a harder mode for us big kids. Learning Passover words has never been more fun. Each game is randomly generated from a special list of Passover words. You can even print out a blank game (and the solution page) for offline playing. My Jewish Coloring Book - Passover Pictures Young kids love to draw and this online coloring book is made just for them. Three different size "brushes" and 24 colors to choose from. You can print the completed color pictures or print black and white outlines to color offline. No need to go buy a coloring book this Passover. Hebrew Passover Songs with Vowels (Nikud) Enter My Hebrew Songbook and choose the category Passover. You can view any song online or create a printed song sheet with several songs together for a sing along. All Hebrew is graphic so you do not need Hebrew support to view or print the songs. The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not enough, I posted on my website 170 links about Passover, ranging from laws and customs to games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, French, Portugese and German. All 170 links have been reviewed / checked this week.
