Whilst you are getting your house ready for the Passover

festival (if you are making a big effort, we say in English

you are giving it a lot of  'elbow grease'),

you might be interested to know that our non-Jewish

neighbours in Britain also spent time and effort in a major

end-of-winter re-decoration and/or re-organization of

cupboards, and called it "Spring Cleaning".

i wonder where they got the idea from ?

To get the holiday off to a good start, I am linking

to an upbeat song about Passover – just click on the picture

below to listen (and read – there are English subtitles) :

*** The clip was downloaded from YouTube for study purposes.  I do not own the copyright.

You will notice that the group call the song "Passover Jam".

As well meaning the confiture we spread on our matza (I am

particularly fond of Strawberry Jam), the Merriam-Webster

online English dictionary, which I strongly recommend you

use, defines "jam" as :

  – to improvise on a musical instrument with a group,
– to take part in a jam session,
 – musicians jamming together. 

So "jam on" – this way you might lose some calories rather

than putting them on !!

Hag Sameakh !
