Passover

I was at an airport this morning, and was struck by how incredibly crowded it was. Not just individuals and couples, but many entire families were traveling together.

Of course, this is for Passover. It is a day when Jews everywhere travel to be with family for the Seder.

How odd it is to think about the fact that so many Jews literally pass over the world on this day. It is a meaning of the word “passover” that I suspect would never have been thought of in earlier centuries.
