I've Gone Out on a Lamb

My new Green-Lined Jerusalem Post blog post is up.

It's called "Going Out on a Lamb".

It start's:-

Yes, lamb, not limb. No mistake there. And certainly no broken limb (which would cause an invalidation of the lamb).


Going out on a limb, I would think, is the proper phrase that would be employed to describe an Ashkenazi to eat kitniyot, a development, by the way, has already drawn support. The lamb I am referring to, however, is the Paschal Offering, the main element of the Passover festival, four times commanded in the Bible. A campaign to offer the Passover sacrifice even without the rebuilt Temple is gathering attention. As the Jerusalem Post has reported,

An initiative to raise the awareness of the centrality of the Pessah sacrifice is gaining momentum, after central rabbis from major streams have endorsed the educational effort. An unusual meeting took place...at the home of one of the leading figures in the haredi world, Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky...

More details are here...

Go read it.

Pass it around.

Happy Pesach!
