#Purim's over; costumes are in the attic. With some trepidation, many Jews see the #Passover preparations & cleaning ahead.
Traditionally, this is a time to get Matza for the holiday.
125 y.a. students at Mikve Yisrael ag school were harvesting wheat. Why was a Rabbi there?

Making of Matza is very meticulous. No water can enter the process until the last minute, lest the grain, flour, or matza becomes leavened. Must complete the process from the second H2O is added to the flour, kneaded, rolled out & baked in under 18 minutes.

2 types of Matza made in the Ashkenazi world -- machine-made & hand-made. Below: Round hand-made baked in the UAE & machine-made in Haifa ~ 1920.
Workers had signs up to remind them to have intention to fulfill the mitzva of matza; it's not automatic.
Also a sign: don't smoke.

We visited a Ukrainian bakery that makes 700 pounds of #Passover matzo per day.
As Russian forces advance in Ukraine, Jews feel baking this sacred bread is more important than ever. 👇

Matzo, when handmade, is called shmura. This unleavened bread is an integral element for Jews celebrating Passover.
When Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, Jews were jailed for making or even just eating matzo.

Qatar’s Al-Jazeera has published this clip about the long queue of Israelis waiting to enter #Egypt’s #Sinai.
As usual, many Al-Jazeera followers are full of prejudice, and they were not happy, even spouting replies with hints of anti-semitism 2/

To label Israelis, not by their nationality, but by their religion as “Jews”, is in my book antisemitism.

In 1920, the "Nabi Musa" celebrations took place on April 4, coinciding with #Passover and the Greek Orthodox #Easter.
Amin al-Husseini, who was then at the beginning of his career, and Araf al-Araf stirred up the celebrating crowd with enthusiastic hate speech that day.

As a result, after the traditional prayer at the end of the holiday, the incited #Arab crowd marched from the mosque in the Judean Desert, 20 kilometers from #Jerusalem, to the homes of the #Jews in Old Jerusalem, shouting "Adbah al-Yehud" (Slaughter the Jews).

And a call that later turned out to be correct - "a-Daula Mana" ("The (British) government is with us").
The #Arab crowd shouted "Independence Independence" & sang: "#Palestine is our land - the #Jews are our dogs." During all this time, #Arab

2/ The seder is a locus for many issues in the #DisabilityShulchanArukh, esp. for every kind of eating issue.
Firstly, the food: allergies, alcohol issues, diabetes, obesity, sensory overload (smells/taste/texture). It's key to know levels of obligation.

3/ The four cups are rabbinic commands for the purpose of (1) freedom (2) joy & (3) remembering the miracle. D'rabbanans are neutralized through a second leniency & esp. if it countermands the original intent of the command

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility and this roughly marks the one year anniversary of when we realized that our youngest child is #Trans. It’s been a steep learning curve for us accompanied by fear & anxiety about how to best support him in a world that is not yet accepting. 🧵:

First let’s talk about the terminology that even as a doctor I only fully learned this year. #Trans is an ☂ term: the experience of having a gender identity that is different from your sex or the gender assigned at birth, includes non-binary.
