An Old Song Done Up New

Each year Passover gives new meaning to A fine old song that's done up new That old story of Pharaoh and Moses ~ Now called 'The Days of Wine and Charoses' Note: The first two nights of Passover four cups of wine are drunk... The 'charoses' are a mixture of shredded apple, ground walnuts, cinnamon, and a taste of wine, all of which remind us of the bricks Jews (as slaves) made with back- breaking labor in Egypt.
