Wishing All Jews a Happy Passover



Tomorrow, Friday, April 22, 2016 marks the beginning of Jewish Holiday of Passover (Pesach) - The Jewish Holiday of the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land. I'd like to wish all the Jews throughout the world a very happy and blessed Passover.

All the way to the Firmament,

Sa'di Shirazi (1210-1291) ~ the eminent 13th century Persian Sufi poet ~ My Translation ~.

Such understanding would greatly diminish Shakespeare�s role. Shakespeare wa...
