5. Explain the name
"Pesach" and then describe this important Jewish Holiday.
Answer: The name "Pesach" (PAY-sahch,
with a "ch" as in the Scottish "loch") comes from the
Hebrew root Pei-Samekh-Cheit , meaning to pass through, to pass over, to exempt
or to spare. It refers to the fact that God "passed over" the houses
of the Jews when he was slaying the firstborn of Egypt. In English, the holiday
is known as Passover. "Pesach" is also the name of the sacrificial
offering (a lamb) that was made in the Temple on this holiday. The holiday is
also referred to as Chag he-Aviv , (the Spring Festival), Chag ha-Matzot , (the
Festival of Matzahs), and Z'man Cheiruteinu , (the Time of Our Freedom) (again,
all with those Scottish "ch"s).
