Exodus

Coming Monday evening we celebrate the Passover seder.

The Jewish people celebrate Passover (Pesach) as a commemoration of their liberation over 3,300 years ago by God from slavery in ancient Egypt that was ruled by the Pharaohs, and their birth as a nation under the leadership of Moses. It commemorates the story of the Exodus as described in the Hebrew Bible especially in the Book of Exodus, in which the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt.

Passover commences on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Nisan and lasts for either seven days (in Israel) or eight days (in the diaspora). In Judaism, a "day" commences from dusk to dusk, thus the first day of Passover only begins after dusk of the 14th of Nisan and ends at dusk on the 15th day of the month of Nisan. The rituals unique to the Passover celebrations commence with the Passover Seder when the 15th of Nisan has begun. In the Northern Hemisphere Passover takes place in spring as the Torah prescribes it: "in the month of [the] spring". It is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays.

This year I want to share with you the beautiful haunting prayer from Mozes in Egypt by Rossini (1819)

Dal tuo stellato soglio,  

signor, ti volgi a noi:

pietà de' figli tuoi,

del popol tuo pietà!

From Thy starry throne,

Lord, you turn to us:

pity Your children,

have mercy on Thy people!

and a variation G. Rossini: Dal tuo stellato soglio from "Moses in Egypt" for 2 cellos

It was made into a variation by Paganini, here played by the awesome Yehudi Menuhin

and I made this freebie for you. A card to print with your Passover present! Hope you like!

It was created with my Passover kit.
