Tracing Passover Customs
Introduction: Well done super
sleuths! You have inquired, searched,
asked, and probed for a list of new (and exciting) Passover customs which you
have never heard of before. Now, your
mission is to discover their origin. Do
whatever it takes, and don’t come back without a complete report!
Activity:
You
are to keep a journal list of the customs you have come across through inquiry
and research. You can choose any four customs
and trace them back to their source.
Visit the websites listed below for some ideas and complete the chart to
answer the following: what is the custom? What country did it originate from?
Why it was established? In your journal,
make sure to record this information from the person who informed you of any
unique customs you already have listed.
