Z EM AN CHERUSEINU
ISCH ODESSA
Passover the first and oldest
Jewish Festival is now hero For
nearly thirtyfive centuries we
celebrate this day on which our
ancestors were freed from the
bonds of slavery from the land
of Egypt the day on which we
were proclaimed a people the
day on which Israel became a self
governing and independent na-
tion
4f
This Festival has four names
viz Chag Ilapesach Feapt of
Passover ChagIloflbit Feast of
ripe ears ChagIIamotzas Feast
of unleavened bread and Zeman
Cherusehm season of our free-
dom These four names are
symbolical of four different peri-
ods of Jewish History the times
thrni different generations since
Israel became a nation until we
will again be restored unto the
Fatherland as a free and inde-
pendent nation
ChagIIapesaeh feast of Pass-
over is the name of this Festival
It symbolizes the event when the
Almighty smote the first born of
the Egyptians and passed over
the first born of Israel Alschu
mschepoach and guarded them
and set them free
ChagIIoabit feast of ripe ears
is the natural name of this grand
day After the gloomy days of
winter are over and the days of
spring have come and revive na-
ture anew the fields and forests
are sending unto ns tlHr perfum-
ing odors and once more do we
hear the sweet melodies of the
nightingale and other song birds
This name is symbolical of the
period when Israel became an in-
dependent nation in her own land
had her own kings priests Lev
ites and Temple
ChangIIamotzoTes feast of un-
leavened cakes or the Lechemoini
bread of affliction This name sym-
bolizes Israels present oppressed
conditionThe period of this long
Goluth night for the last two
thousand years Since Israel is
living as a tenant among many
lands who are mistreating him
upon every turn ho is making i0
is only permitted to have the
bread of affliction to live a life
full of misery to swim in his own
blood tortured in Spain driven
from Portugal degraded in
France and Germany hated in
AustriaHungary massacred in
Prussia and Romania and disliked
thruout the world Oh my poor
people thou art the chosen peo-
ple of thy Creator who is merely
testing your patience with this
long lasting afflicted tperiod in
order that thou mayest greater
rejoice when the fourth period of
Zeman Cherusehm season of our
freedom will come as this is the
last symbolical name of our great
Festival which we celebrate
every year for fifteen days in the
month of Nisaif and this last per-
iod the time of our golden future
is coming nearer and nearer for
we have had enough leehein omi
Nearer and nearer comes the time
when Israel will rea y be a free
people recognized and respected
by all nations But in order to
help along this golden future all
Israel must unite spiritually and
nationally AVe have no Moses
at the present time We Jews are
scattered thruout the world Even
Moses would not be able to free
us in our present scattered condi
tion If we desire real freedom
for our oppressed and persecuted
brethren we must unite We Jews
of all the world must form a spir-
itual and national bondage for
only then can we expect to be
freed for only then will we be
able to raise with pride the flag
of freedom for then only will we
be justified to call this feast the
season of our freedom
