Premium MemberPassover begins on April 12, 2025--Your Watch woman

First off, Jacob was married to both Leah and Rachel when he was 84 years old
and Israel will be 84 years old in 2032.  The tribulation is referred to as both: The
time of Jacob's trouble + the 70th week of Daniel.  What we are now witnessing
'is a precursor to the seven year tribulation

      Two full cups of wine
         even before we dine
      
      Two more later, raised in song
        What could go wrong ~

Passover Lamb

You shall say to the master of the house (Luke 22:11 NKJV)
So you may eat and drink at my table (Luke 22:30)
Covenant is His blood, poured out for us. (Luke 22:20)
I love you, I am willing and able.

I hold these blessings of Joy as I should,
I take thine body and blood, it blesses.
I will taste

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY 

January 1st, a canvas of contradictions
Special ointment, blessings, and expectations
A night before, a crossover, a threshold to eternity
Or just a mere tradition, a philosophy of men?

In the grand tapestry of time, what sets it apart?
A biblical significance, a divine spark?
Or just a faint echo of a long-forgotten past?
The Passover feast,

A Passover blessed by children

23 April 2024  8:57 PM


Suffer the little children to come unto me
Today was a passover Yeshua would have made a top memory

A great log house alive with goats and fowl 
Two little dogs playing sniff and growl

Seven little children faces all aglow
Running and playing in their own fun and show

Sitting round the passover table

Premium Member Passover Greetings to My Jewish Friends





    ~~~Happy Passover to All Jewish Poets~~~~

This Passover, recalls the Exodus! 
Let us never forget all those innocent i, 200
lives taken, on October 7th, 2023.

Pray for all Jewish students in all universities as 
they try to learn under hatred from ruthless groups, 
who are nothing more than antisemites.

Pray for Israel and all

  Flatbread matzo served

  Wine no longer a Passover staple

The Passover Section

With springtime now upon us,
If your town has lots of Jews,
The supermarket has some foods
You might have need to use.

For Passover’s approaching
And the holiday demands 
No bread nor pasta be consumed;
Thus, stores have made their plans.

A special section’s filled with
All the substitutes we need
To serve at Seder time, just like
The ancient texts decreed.

There’s matzoh meal,

I've called you here to break with me this bread,
to drink sweet wine and eat of peppered cod
None here a servant, each a friend, instead

Find on this board the boundless love of God
Come! Sit beside me now and eat thy fill, 
while I wash from thy feet the earth you've trod

Though most here are intended

Forgive the Past the Present

I
Never one to shackle one with the past
Yet humans use words to distort
Time, our guilt or responsibility
In that sense, the Past is a scapegoat
An escape route, and inconsistent ally:
If one has/ had parents, one has a past
And we give it life with our names ...
When we use any names, biological
Or anthropological, or political (Malcolm X)

Be Still, My Child

(From the musical "On Eagles' Wings." This is the lullaby for Passover night.)

Mother 1:
Be still, my child, go to sleep
The night is dark, but dreams are sweet
My child, take rest from fear and dread
And relish all your dreams instead

Though life is harsh, your dreams can be
As sweet as the world used to be
Be not afraid

Allow Me Just To Dream This Once

-From the Passover musical that I wrote, "On Eagles' Wings"-

Allow me just to dream this once
Of things of life, of things of love
Allow me just to sing one song
Of if I could escape from wrong

Of children playing, dancing, laughing
In a home and land their own
Of if we would no more know hunger
For we’d reap what
