הגדרה (אנגלית)

Passover.

("You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days, eating unleavened bread as I commanded you, at the appointed time of the new moon, for in it you came out of Egypt, and they shall not see my face empty" - Shemot 23:12, and so: "They are appointed for the whitewash, for all our appointed times are appointed for the whitewash on the fifteenth of the new moon, on the first of the new moon, on the tenth of the new moon. And from the appointed time of the heat, the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of ingathering, and this is the completion. Our wisdom is above the other nations, because the Christians are called by their heat...and sometimes the beginning of their new moon is at the beginning of the new moon of the moon and sometimes at its middle...and the Jews are called by their new moons of the moon...therefore their Passover varies every year, and sometimes it is in the summer and sometimes it is in the winter, and at all times of the year" - Shu"t 5775 Part B (Signal Rn)
