I was raised a Catholic, though along the way I've become B'nai Noach. It makes me sad that Christian religions don't really teach us that the Abrahamic religions are absolutely founded on Judaism- on the Torah. They separate us from the divine Torah, making the "Old Testament" seem dusty and irrelevant. During the time of Moshiach we will all return to the Torah.
Different religions? Jews and Christians worship the same God. The only difference is one adds to the law rendering God’s law powerless and rejects the Messiah, the other completely disregards the law and teaches that the New Testament contradicts the law of Moses. It’s no wonder that Jews will never know their Messiah.
At Pesach, I love the sense of belonging to something much much bigger and important than my everyday life! When I am in the process of getting rid of all the leaven from my home, I am connecting to HaShem. And asking him to get rid of the sin (leaven) in my heart! Baruch HaShem!
Muslims in Syria used to celebrate the Passover, in a less festive way of course. I remember my grandmother making great food and a huge feast for "The day on which Moses defeated the pharaoh".
I celebrate Passover also as a Christian. It's the one of the most important feast the God command us to keep. We accept that Jesus has is came in the flesh to full fill the prophecy of the Passover. We keep Passover with the unleavened bread and wine. Happy Passover!
Gabriella Fonseca Exodus 12 explains Passover. It's when the God brought them out of slavery out of Egypt and they slayed a young lamb without blemishes put the blood on the door post and they roasted the lamb with fire. They put the blood on the post so the God would pass over when he was killing first the first born . Not about sin it's about how God was mad....
I love this! I was disconnected from my Jewish heritage when I was 5, so I lost most of the knowledge that I had about passover from when I was a kiddo. I definitely remember matzoh, and a tradition that my family had about hiding it for the kids to find. Now as I vegan I HAVE TO subscribe to this channel. Thanks for your inspiring content. :-)
As a Christian, we learned about Passover in Sunday School. But my story has nothing to do with the holiday but with the Manischewitz. I grew up in a dry house (no alcohol). My father had won a bottle of the wine in question at a company party. Without telling anyone, he put it in the refrigerator to cool. The next day I went into the refrigerator and thought i saw a bottle of "grape juice". I poured myself a small glass and took a large gulp. SURPRISE - Wine tastes nothing like Grape Juice. I dropped the glass, spilling the wine, screamed at the horrible taste, and caused both my mother and father to come into the kitchen. Bottom line - mom grew up in a "dry house", dad got yelled at for bringing wine into the house, I got a good talking to for opening the bottle without permission. And finally, I didn't taste alcohol again until I was 22.
kosher wine is always sweet, and Manischewitz is no exception. It's only drunk for a blessing, it's not what we would drink if we wanted an alcoholic beverage.
My ignorance about Jewish Tradition is huge, so I really appreciate that you share this video with us gentiles. Love you, Mayim, you are one of a kind. What a woman!
@@chanabayla1823 THANK YOU!! Every year these Messy-Antics as I call them, have their Messy-antic "seder" and of course if you've had any exposure to Judaism and a REAL seder, you know something's off. it doesn't take long before they shoehorn JESUS or this nonsensical Yesshoooooooooooooooooooooooa wacka waaca into the mix; forgetting we left Egypt and PAGANISM. It's as kosher as ham.
I’m not Jewish, but my priests’ wife is. One year for our church we celebrated Passover as a new experience. It’s been over 5 years and I’ll always remember how calming and loving it was. It’s an amazing experience
I was born and raised in Israel (before I moved to Canada in 2004) and I always remember those Sedar that I had as a kid. I remember that before my grandmother passed away, we had one sedar at her and my granddad's house. My great grandmother also joined us and she used to make gefilte fish from scratch and bring it. As a kid I loved it but as an adult, I don't like fish. I also remember that same Seder we played "find the afikomen" and my brother and I searched for hours. They even did the "hot-cold" game with us and we had hard time finding it. It turned out my granddad hid it above the dishwasher. Those kind of memories I will always cherish.
Honest question as Christian... is the passover celebrated as a somber, solemn remembrance of the events leading up to the exodus, or are they joyous and boisterous celebrations praising YehWeh in his deliverance from the oppression...i hope I do not offend but everything I've read in the bible paints it as a somber memorial. Am I wrong?
Passover is a lovely connection to our ancestors and our children. My memory is good food, feeling sleepy. All of us would gather up and talk and lots of laughter, fall asleep in my dad's chair that felt gigantic. Lots of singing. Just warm and loving memories. The blanket that my bubbe had made that smelled like strawberries and soap.
Thanks you for this video. I am a Christian and have not experienced a full Passover celebration, yet, so it was very informative to get an expanded sense of what it is all about. I've studied the bible for a long time, yet your video sheds a light of enthusiasm on the special time that helps to understand it better.
I couldn't even finish this video. I wanted to seriously learn of the Passover and thos feels like blasphemy. Are you really Jewish or just making fun of them?
I’m Jewish by blood even though my family practices another religion. However I grew up celebrating the Passover and Chanukah. I love celebrating the Passover and I think it’s just such a wonderful way to celebrate a different religion and the culture of my ancestors. I hope to continue this tradition with my family as well.
As a Protestant Christian, I've always found it difficult to explain "Easter" to my kids, but through Passover, the message is a little more family friendly. Another reason I concentrate on the Passover traditions surrounding the holiday, is that most "Easter Traditions" are actually Pagon.... God commanded us to teach our families through the First Testament holidays, so I do. Thank you Mayim; it's nice to have Hollywood people expressing their Faith...
Isn't Passover called that because G-d's angel passed over any house where blood was put on the doorpost and "only" killed the firstborn son of non-Jews that didn't get a heads up? I mean, I like your videos a lot but omitting this etymology and breezing past it when you talk about your first question, "What is Passover?" seems disingous. I'd really like to know how you, as a vegan, intellectually deal with G-d killing, if not the Egyptian's boys, but G-d killing the firstborn of their animals. Is this one of those things you can't address because you had a corporate sponsor? I'm not trying to be mean. I'd really like to know. That story is also part of my faith, and I'm also curious as to how my faith handles these questions, but for that I'll ask my pastor.
Happy Passover to all the Christ Killers out there! You celebrate the murder of Jesus Christ today, just like you did 2,000 years ago and you are not fooling anyone!
I was just about to say what Yalin said before ne. Miam i mivex to San Diego in1979. Im a displaced New Yorker originally from Brooklyn. 💘 Manhattan too. U.bring back hamish New York City and all i left behind, including my friends and family. Friends hamish including my Mom her family all my cousins etc. Not my Dad and not my Sister (in old age and in growing up.)The Haters.
I am catholic and I grew up celebrating Passover at my youth group church every year not really sure why, because I know that Christianity doesn't continue with a lot of Jewish culture. But I loved going through the different foods and I love the tradition behind it. It connects us (at least it connects me) to Jesus and the last supper, but also what our religious ancestors and Gods chosen people had to go through. As the bible contains the Old testament I think its a really important holiday to celebrate or at least know the significance of. Although Catholics don't prep for it for a month :)
I'm not Jewish, but my mom's best friend was a Rabbi and I remember my first seder st her house. Her sons & husband set the table & were very excited because my mom, dad & I were the first non-Jews they celebrated with. I remember lots of matzoh - which I still love to this day- and wine. I remember coloring books describing the Exodus for us kids & just the laughs & love at the table. I remember well how happy they were to share their faith with us & how happy my parents were to help them finish the wine! Happy Passover 😀
Despite my lack of belief in God I’ve always found different religions and cultural traditions to be interesting. That is part of the reason why I’m subscribed. Thanks for the enthusiastic educational videos you provide.
I have really been enjoying following you for the last few months, Mayim. Your videos related to Judaism are especially heartwarming for me. Most of my childhood, i.e. my primary and secondary school years, I grew up in a town that was predominantly Jewish. Our school system observed holidays like Rosh Hashanah, and our class graduation was moved from Saturday afternoon to Thursday night for our class valedictorian. In college, I dated an orthodox Jewish man for a year, walked to and attended shul with him most Friday evenings, and even lived with him and kept kosher for 6 months. Boiling all of our kitchenware was an adventure! We hosted a kosher Thanksgiving and a pared down version of Passover in our apartment. I remember cleaning the corners with a feather! The whole experience touched me, because I really appreciated the attention and care involved. Thank you for sharing the stories of your faith. 💚
This is a strong prohibition as a jew cannot have relations with a gentile. You also are under no obligation to keep kosher. It is like putting 91 octane in an 87 car.
A B M I’ve always said I grew up in a Pillsbury bread part of the Bay Area - then I think about it and realize we were quite mixed. We had quite a few Jewish kids in school and were always a bit envious they had extra holidays, and our teachers included Jewish history a bit so we understood. I watched with awe as Mrs. Schafir in our court cleaned, and she explained why she had so many pans, that she grew up non-Jewish and had to learn all of this too, then let me try matzo. It was quite cool, I liked her a lot.
Worshipping the idol excitingly make you happy idol worshipping 🤩 your God is not if his name is Jesus Christ 😭😭🙏😭😭🙏 idol worship his real name is Yahawashi hebrews name him brown skin man , not red edomites

I was raised in a non-religious household, but my father was raised Jewish and we always went to my grandma's house for Passover growing up. To this day it's my favorite holiday. I love the story of people essentially demanding and taking their own liberation. Plus the meal with family and friends is just lovely.
Happy Passover! I just discovered, through Ancestry, that I’m not of Russian or Polish Jewish heritage like my grandmother said! I’m Norwegian and Finnish Jewish. I even found out that on my mom’s side I have Jewish roots in Ireland as well! Because of these results I’ve been doing a lot of research into my family and discovered 4 second cousin’s in Norway who look just like my dad!
@@cameronleaana1153 I don’t think the 10 have been identified via DNA (though I’m sure we probably all have at least one of those 10 by now!). I believe only Judah and maybe even more so Levi? have DNA patterns identified.
I was always told from my moms side that we were Sephardic but with AncestryDNA I discovered nope not at all were Ashkenazi mainly from German and Russia And Poland I hand no idea I was Russian
I was in a Sunday Christian Church until 3years ago when I found out that the Messiah celebrated Passover and the I wanted to celebrate it myself and learn about it then I changed to become a Messianic Jew and this year will be the start of my third year following Torah and having Passover.
As an Italian, I find the idea of it taking that many steps to get to dinner crazy. As a gay man, the story reminds me to keep hope alive in the dark times because things get better.
Joseph Mingle he’s gay so he’s still bound to spend an eternity in Hell unless he repents and turns away from his ways. So, yes despite the favourable times, he faces very dark times. But what do you know about Heavenly Father and His commands?!
Hi Nola. Is your Jesus the same as mine, that became the Passover Lamb? Have you forgotten that He was/is a Jew? Nothing has changed. He's the same yesterday, today and everlasting. Please, please read your Bible, you'll see that the OT matches the NT and vise versa.
I am Jewish and have MANY wonderful memories of HUGE and very long Passover seders with lots of Manischewitz products. I’ve noticed many non-Jewish folks have mentioned that either their churches or families celebrated Passover, but I didn’t see anyone having mentioned that Christ’s Last Supper was said to have been a Passover meal. Someone made brief mention of the DaVinci masterpiece, but did not make the point. I love it when our religious holidays cross over. If anyone ever had any question, just take note of how close Passover is to Easter, and that Passover always comes before Easter. 😊 It’s a beautiful world when we celebrate together. Thank you, Mayim and Manischewitz for this terrific video. (Sorry I’m so late to the party!)
LOVE all your videos but this is currently ranked as #1 fave. I am not Jewish, but I observe the Sabbath (Saturday) and have my entire life. In 2017 I was looking to make some extra money and was hired by 2 Jewish communities in my city to help out during Passover and New Years. Little did I know a job would lead me to such an eye opening experience. I didn’t really know anything about Passover or even the Hebrew calendar, and have learned so much over the course of a year. I am so excited to continue being involved in the Jewish community and have decided to keep kosher during this Passover and truly reflect on the miracle’s of God. ❤️
I am reading the bible for the First time and finishing Gospel of Matthews and I came across the Passover. Discover them to be Jewish Festive holiday. I live in Ireland and my Fiancé has a book of the Jewish in Ireland. (Never knew why). He is Polish and we go to Poland a lot. His city is Lublin and there are many Jewish places and his father had a favourite Jewish bar, when his father passed away I was there and they were playing a playlist that his father prepared for the bar. We also had the chance to go to Krakow, we were based in the Jewish quarter, in front of the synagogue. I had the chance to go inside. I was in different Jewish restaurants and bars. In my city São Paulo, Brazil, we have many Jewish people. I wish I knew all this deep Information before, I am glad I found this TH-cam Chanel in this moment of my life, I have massive interest in all this beautiful Story of your beautiful people. Looking forward to the next Passover.
YIKES.. I hope the bf was never invited again.... funny how they think they're right but they co-opted most of the ideas from Judaism while bolting paganism onto it.. totally making it traif.
As a Catholic, it's really cool to hear about how our elder brothers (and sisters) in the faith celebrate this big holiday that is so close, both chronologically and through its meaning, to the Holy Week. This year I reflected on reviving some of the old Christian traditions related the Holy Week and I envy you for having your tradition so alive at your home.

Burning the hametz is symbolic, we burn just a few leftover slices of bread - as a symbol to all of our hametz. What most people do is leave their hametz at home (but covered and hidden from our eyes) and sell it to a non-Jewish for the period of Passover. After Passover it gets donated to the poor.

As Christians. We have different celebrations, but I love Chanukah. And we have celebrated it twice. I love the lights, and the menu, and having another excuse to get family together. I also like the idea of celebrating something that Jesus would have have recognized. While he did not have dreidels and gold covered chocolate coins he would have know bout the rededication of the temple and the miracle of the lights. I love the story of Passover, and would like to celebrate it, some day, but that is a celebration I will not touch. Some Christians do, but I feel that, as a non Jew, there is so ,ice missing from my background to truly give it the justice and depth of respect it is due. My family never had to flee a progrom, or the approach of the holocaust. I feel that the only way I can experience a true Passover dinner is at the table of someone who knows the scope of sacrifice and suffering this holiday remembers.
We have a tradition in our family where before the "Ma Nishtana" the kids at the Seder are given chocolate and sweets. The reason is because in a normal day regular parents won't let their children eat candy before the meal. Doing the opposite gives the children a reason to ask "Ma Nishtana".
learning Hebrew, LOVING IT!! It's changing my heart. Now that I know I am Graphed in - I'm in for learning my heritage. My first year for Passover. Thanks for the teaching
Luke 22:13-16 King James Version 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
watching this trying to learn so that i can make a good impression on my boyfriend’s family, i was raised softly catholic but not enough to recall the bible and i really appreciate short and concise information in a video like this!! thank you :-)

I'm not Jewish but I was a preschool teacher at a JFCC school. One of my favorite Pessach treats was dark chocolate dipped matzah. At work I paired it with grape juice along with the students as we taught them songs. I'm going to have dai ennu trapped in my head for days now. The parents usually spoiled the teachers during Hannuka, Purrim, and Pessach so we always had kosher wine at home. At home I loved the dark chocolate dipped matzah with red wine and fruit mainly blueberries or bananas. I attended several sedars and my favorite part is similar to my Pagan beliefs. I love preparing the plate for the late arrival or unexpected guest. On Samhain (Sa-when AKA Halloween) we honor our ancestors and make an extra plate as well. If no such guest arrives we set the plate on our porch or in our yard. It is nourishment for the souls seeking the Summerlands. We do remove anything which could harm any animals that might come around. So while my favorite Jewish holiday is Purrim because Esther is an amazing feminist icon and I love wine and hammentashin (I mostly love apricot, raspberry, and chocolate.) I love Pessach because this one detail is both an act of kindness and a sort of combined tradition that shows how each culture and religion are rooted in such goodness even if there are disagreements. Thank you for the videos. I really enjoy them. Have you ever made one about brain disorders and their recovery? I'm epileptic and have fibromyalgia. I've been seizure free for three years but my right temporal lobe is basically a broken mess. Is full recovery possible? I know you're a neuroscientist which is why I would be very interested on your input on the subject. If you read this and have made a video on it please leave me a link. Thank you so much. You are a role model for girls who want to be scientists but were afraid of being too smart.
Jenni Lind Are you originally from Sweden? I have relatives with the same name from Sweden... I hope your diseases are not getting worse... Really interesting comment. Even she didn't like it. Lind is Jewish. Not? (I am neither a Jew. But: it is not that clear. --> I have my own theory why. ;-)
Nicolas Balint Personally I've never been to Sweden but I'm named after my family's most famous ancestor from there. I am mostly Swedish and Irish. I'd love to move to one of these lands to live my life though. I think it would be quite interesting.
As a child, Passover was when we would all sit at "the children's table" in the living room and get absolutely wasted on bubbie's homemade wine. It was so sweet, it made Manischewitz red taste like a very dry white. Naturally, my cousins and I would get all flushed, with our hair matted to our very sweaty foreheads, while we waited for the various aunts to emerge from the kitchen with a bowl of this and plate of that. Getting 3 knaidlach (matzoh balls) in your bowl was a treat. Since my own childhood harkens back to a MUCH earlier time, when the NHL had but 6 teams, this was usually also when the Stanley Cup finals were on. My grandfather struggled to keep my dad and uncles at the table, and fight their collective urge to move to the living room and turn on the TV. The only ritual they wanted to stretch out past 10:00PM was the 2nd and 3rd period. Necessary for Passover is a very good dustpan and whisk broom. Imagine the driest possible Christmas tree, constantly dropping its needles, and that's pretty much what the 24hr shower of matzoh crumbs is like. Manischewitz and Streits seem to send talent scouts out to the parking lots of every top-tier food-chemistry program in the nation, to recruit graduates that can emulate "normal" food with Passover ingredients. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but Passover noodles and pizza crusts just do NOT cut it. These are science experiments gone awry. It's *only* 8 days, folks. Deal with it. I'm sure you can manage. It beats wandering in the desert for 40 years, right? I have the distinction of having "pesach" (Hebrew for Passover) as my middle name in Hebrew.
Mayim, im 35 yrs old and have been a HUGE fan of you since i saw u in Beaches and then watched Blossom religiously. And then u joined my favorite show in The Big Bang Theory. when i saw u first on TBBT i went nuts doing a happy dance. You are such a well rounded person and so beautiful on the inside which matches your outter beauty. And although im straight, you were my firsr girl crush and of course Joey Lawrance was my first boy crush. . Also ive been crazily obsessed with Michael Jackson from age 2 when i first saw Rock With You on my nannas television, the MJ obsession stopped when i became a mother 4 and a half yrs ago. . Anyway im so shocked at how much u worked as a child and still turned out so extremely well rounded and seemingly a FANTASTIC mother. i know nobody is perfect, but you seem to come close. Good on you and thank you for not breaking my heart by letting Hollywood break your spirit.
i mentioned MJ because of u being in his music video. i am VERY curious if u met him or not because u weren't in frame with him. Either way you seem to have led a wonderful life but u stayed grounded somehow. CONGRATULATIONS .
As Passover is meant to pass on the story of the Exodus to the children, it's important to make the Seder fun! It's a long meal and we have a tradition to get the kids up from the table about 30 minutes before the break in the seder for dinner and take the kids to the kitchen where we dip fresh strawberries into melted chocolate then put them in the refrigerator to set for dessert. It celebrates the wonderful sweet berries (sweet like our freedom) and the tradition of dipping foods at the seder. It also gets the kids busy and feeling important because they contributed to the meal! This year, with the first seder falling on the Sabbath, we'll be making them in the afternoon but it's still a cherished family tradition - in addition to all the others!
No, it's passing the Jewish houses, while the "angel" of death killed the firstborn son of each Egyptian family... according to the cruel Jewish narrative
I grew up Catholic, but our church held a Sedar every Passover. I haven't celebrated Passover in 20 years (we moved away in my late teens), but I have fond memories of sitting at an enormous table, telling stories, and actually being allowed wine as teenagers! (If we wanted; there was always grape juice, and no pressure or teasing if we opted for it instead.) I always thought the Sedar went by so fast, even though it was HOURS (and I always kind of assumed it was good ol' Catholic solemnity that drew it out so long - ha!)
I’m not Jewish, but Manishewitz wine was a staple at all of my great grandmothers holidays. Wasn’t thanksgiving without it! I was also really fortunate to grow up in a church that had a great relationship with a synagogue in town, so I got to attend a few seders.
as a non-Jew i LOVE celebrating Passover with my fiancé and his family. It's pretty fun actually. Also, Mayim could you live stream or record a passover sader for people who can't participate in one themselves? Due to personal issues we will not be participating this year but I'd love to feel like im participating.
why would you ask her to live stream on one of the holiest days of the year? She is not a reform Jew, she actually keeps Mitzvoth......... so no live streaming of a Seder if its the real thing!
This video made me smile so much - I’m not a Jew, nor religious but have always been fond of the Jewish faith as they seems to portray fun and kind people. I would love to be involved in some Jewish festivities but was never sure if I’d be allowed as a non-Jew. Happy Passover!

I was raised Catholic. Sometime in the 70s the Catholic Church decided to acknowledge Jesus as a Jew. This involved teaching about Seder and revealing that the Last Supper was a Seder meal. I love the Seder and, after learning about it, I began to incorporate the Haggadah and the grape juice into our Easter festivities. That was the year that Manechevitz began giving away Haggadah at the Passover display at Safeway. Admittedly, I bought the grape juice because I like it and think it tastes better than Welch's. So there you go. My favorite memory. Thanks Mayim . I always enjoy these videos so much.

I'm not Jewish, but was introduced to matzoh while at college. I fell in love with them. Would eat they with any meal. I would take as many as I could so I could fill a stash of them for later. Now when I go through the Kosher isle I become nostalgic for that stash of matzoh. This Friday I will be going to my first Seder with my friend who is converting. I feel so honored to be invited, I can't wait.
My Passover memories mostly involve watching Shari Lewis’ Passover special and acting out all of Lambchop’s parts with my Lambchop puppet. There was the one year, though, where I accidentally broke a glass while waiting for my dad to finish the blessings, then decided he was taking too long and just started eating my matzo balls. Passover dinner and ADHD are super incompatible :)
I'm over 50 now and pretty secular but I have fond memories of reading the four questions, hunting for matzoh after the brisket is finished and running to open the front door to let Eliyahu in for some wine from the special goblet set for him at the table. then all the kids would leave the room to listen to disco or rock albums (this was the 70s) or to go watch the ten commandments on TV while the adults lit cigarettes or cigars and started playing poker (the men) and mah jong (the women). my wife now is a Latina Catholic and even tho I'm not religious I want her to experience a proper seder one day.

When I was a kid, the seders at my Orthodox grandparents' house went on until early morning. The little kids would pass out in their chairs as the service continued. Conversely, seders on the other side were often held in a hotel, with few if no prayers and gifts (!) for all the kids. We got all dressed up and boy did we love it. Home seders were not as long, but the house had been cleaned we were all dressed up (I still remember a pair of patent leather pumps and a crinoline dress) and the food made by my wonderful mother was delicious. Seders were wonderful and I cherish the memories.
I was raised half n half. So I remember my family only did Passover 1 time ....I was about age 8 or 9. I remember little about it. My parents divorced in 1968 n then it was foster care - 3 different homes - one for each of us. I am the oldest of the three n was left in charge...so I am bossy. Today I am the survivor. All my family is predeceased. I can become very lonely. I no longer celebrate anything. It has no meaning when totally alone. I have my half wild cat Chloe n a stray I call Moe as companions. When is there a new big bang???????? Storyline .....I feel needs some revamping......a spark of something, is missing from the characters. I know there are guest spots. Hire me!!!! I could play the vagrant that Sheldon n Amy take in. Lol. Or some university colleague? Seriously.....these new episodes need that little something to entice n add spice!!! Ps I worked as special extra, right here in Montreal, Quebec....Canada. Now I am 61 n in chronic pain. Ach wish you happiness. Waiting for you to marry your best friend. You have the right to remarry n have that life bond!!!! All best wishes.....sincerely, Malka
MARK Z. I think life is a process of "going through things" if only to learn lessons n grow? Thanks for your words...it's helpful to know that we ar not alone! Sending you best wishes....n..that you come out stronger on the other side!
You might be able to experience a Seder at Chabad House. I grew up with both parents Jewish, and we did two Seders every year with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends. Nearly all are gone now, and boy do I miss having a family at this time of year
Thank you so much for this Mitzvoh! I shared it with my non-Jewish young adults to let them know what Passover is about. You are perfect for that. On Passover 2020 - I am grateful for you.
So, that first year as an "adult" in the Jewish sense, I was encouraged to drink the real stuff over the grape juice. My mom was generous with her pour, and lets just say, that year, I passed out with my face in my bowl of matzoh ball soup. A sip of wine.... Dayenu!
Manishewets memory unrelated to passover: made matzo/flatbread balls when I literally had zero food in my apartment (I had just moved out and didn't know anything). God provided!!! I ate them with earl grey tea. Also, mom brought me food the next day because she wasn't gonna let me starve.
Mayim Bialik is the only person who's ever made me feel like a religious holiday celebration would be the happenin' place to be!! I freaking love her!!😁😁😁
I love Manishewitz!! As a kid, their macaroons were (still are) fabulous!. (However havent ibdulged due to dietary changes...trying to veganize😉) The concord grape wine is still one of my fave go -to wines. Love the white cream wine as well! Hag Sameach!! Love, Sue

A couple of years ago my youngest brother hosted his first seder. I helped by buying some of the supplies. While shopping in the relatively large Passover section at one of the stores I found a bag of plagues. Yes, little plastic representations that can be held while reading the appropriate section. They added some fun and now we use them at all the seders.

Were not Jewish but my husband was a youth worker for a few years and loved doing slightly crazy things. We had a Purim party and when it came to Passover we had grape juice and Matzoh. Trying to find Matzoh in our local supermarket was hysterical because we didn’t actually know what it looked like!
Every Passover my father dress up as a Hebrew slave who came to Israel from Egypt. He leaves the house,knocks on the door and then comes in and does a whole show. Then he lets the kids do the show too, they really like it and that's what keeps them up late. I'ts funny too. Of course we steal the afikoman and "blackmail" Grandpa until he promises to buy us what we ask for, and only then we give him back the afikoman. My experiences and memories from Passover are happy and fun memories thanks to my beautiful family. I really love this holiday! Happy Passover Mayim ☺🍷
This will be our first true celebration of Passover... We were accustomed to good Friday so We don't know what we are doing... I am watching your videos and others to find out.. thank you for helping us.. Baruch Hashem Shalom ❤
Hello so we gave up Easter years after learning the truth behind it and bc we are graphed in we now celebrate Passover every year yay. The first year we tried to make it super serious with all the bells and whistles but have learned to let that go out the window. So after my father in law was teaching the lesson he stood up to bless the meal and then Sat down, Where then chair broke and he was laying on the floor so He jumped up yelling and saying some not so holy words and we all laughed. So now he still teaches but the older kids take over most of the reading and the night is a blast. SHALOM
Do you actually believe that God favored 'your' people and helped you escape Egypt? And do you actually believe that your God(Yhvh) killed all the children of Egypt? I am serious. I want to hear it from you. Do you believe that your God is the one? But why did he have a selected group of people? Why didn't your God show himself/reveal stuffs in other parts of the world in your opinion? Or would you also say that he did reveal himself and thus people have different faiths and understanding? I do not find that appealing at all.. I would like you to answer these because I want to hear the answers to these, not from an overly religious person, but from someone as intellectual as you, who otherwise would absolutely abandon religion already. Toda rabah!
I should hope not. As there is no evidence that Jews were ever slaves in Egypt, they can actually have fun getting drunk celebrating the story of god hardening Pharaohs heart just so god could go on a murder spree of all the innocent children, since it's a made up story, no harm done. Pretty good excuse to get plastered, really.
That's our people history for us pal, you have like 100 200 years of history so it sounds funny to you, but our history goes back 4000 years. Just like the Greeks had God's in there mythology, or the Roman's that say a she wolf cared for human children that went on to create Rome. So please do be so disrespectful it's a tradition 3800 years old that's insane. And you come here and judge us. 😌.
Flaw in your premise, which sounds like, "intellectuals have no need for religion, having replaced it with science." The purpose of the bible is not to relay facts about what happened X years ago. It is a compilation of stories that encode & transmit ancient advice on how to live a good life. "Belief" is not a matter of taking fiction as fact. It is a matter of trusting that the fiction contains real wisdom, thus is worth the effort to decode.
The first time I sang the Ma Nishtana during a Seder I was probably five years old. We were celebrating with about a hundred people at a hotel and just that night I noticed that one of my teeth got real loose. So while the Seder started to turn towards the Ma Nishtana, I grabbed a handkerchief and pulled my tooth out - just in time to grab the mic and sing the four questions, hoping that I wouldn't spit blood all over the place.
My favorite memory was at about 8 years old (in the early 70s) we had a seder at synagogue. Our favorite part as kids was the finding of the Afikoman (non-Jews can google that!). There must have been 50 kids running around the synagogue with at least a dozen kids going through the large waste cans assuming that's where it would be. They were empty at the time. Each can had a large, black hefty bag that was pulled over the top of the can. I stood there looking and thought, "The best hiding place wouldn't be INSIDE the can, but OUTSIDE the can." I looked around the cans and could see the outline of the matzah, the square of it, tucked under the hefty bag. All those kids looking and not seeing it! It was right there! I walked up and pulled it out. i was so happy. The rabbi had a gift for whomever found it. A kite reel. It was like a fishing reel for a kite. I kept that thing forever and all these years, I still remember it!
You could make your own matzo, add salt and pepper and onion powder, etc. Delicious, tastes nothing like store-bought, and kosher for Passover too. Bakes really quickly. You just have to bake it within eighteen minutes after you get the flour wet, so there isn't a chance of "leavening."
I'm actually converting to Judaism. When I first tried Manishewitz wine for Shabbat. I thought it was impossibly sweet (I'm diabetic) but still an important experience to try it. I actually found some onion-flavored matzo that were delicious. Actually, I like that matzo has a good amount of fiber to the extent that it's actually a healthy snack option for me, in my opinion.
I love when you explain the Jewish Traditions! I'm going to a temple in Newton MA recently and slowly learning the traditions and religion. The community is really warm and beautiful and ponders serious questions like me (and you). Thank you, I learned many things I didnt know about passover and I appreciate it. Anshin Kelly
I’ve been to a Passover dinner it was truly enlightening. We actually had it at the baptist church I attended. I wish I remembered the details but it’s been so long.
I am very thankful for your videos on Judaism and Jewish traditions. I am an Atheist and have raised my 21 year daughter and now my 9 year old son without religion. However, our family is extremely varied in both race and religious history and practice. I want them to at least have an understanding of the religious practices of our family and since they run the gamut from my Atheism and dabbling in Ancient Celtic religions, to Judaism, Buddhism, Catholicism, and essentially we figured out the only religion we don't think is represented in our family is Islam. So, it has been really informative, and helpful for respecting and celebrating the Jewish customs of our family and friends. I am hopeful to someday, with great preparation, observe all of the religious rites of our combined family members in a year. I'm thinking I may need at least 2, but I'm going to try.
BIO LOGICAL No, atheism is a lack of belief in the supernatural. Most people don't believe in fairies, dragons, ghosts, demons, etc. This is just a continuation of that. There is as much solid, verifiable proof for all of those things as there is for a god. Also most people don't believe in Zeus, Poseidon, Odin, Ganesh, etc. And this is also just a continuation of that, atheists just go one god further. And thanks for hijacking someone else's really informative video to show your ignorance of other belief, or lack of belief systems. That was really classy of you.
We opened the front door for Elijah, and a short time later a “street person” entered the front hall. Wow!!! Were we surprised, packed up a meal for him, and wished him peace and happiness!
So most Portuguese people have sephardic ancestors. It's really interesting to me that passover is the one holiday that Jewish people Don't eat challah bread (on account of it being bread), but the Catholics have a tradition to give godchildren a 'folar de pascoa' (practically challah bread) for Easter. To me it seems like our ancestors liked it so much that we incorporated it into a time when we wouldn't be able to eat it. Almost like 'grandma says we can't eat it cause it has yeast.' 'Yeah, well, I'm Catholic now, so I Will eat it!'
My Irish Catholic grandma was a major fan of Manishewicz Creme Red Concord wine. She always had a bottle and would have a glass at night after dinner. She lived to be 98 years young!
I once attended a seder at a retreat house. This particular place is run by the Passionists. This is an order of Roman Catholic Priests and Brothers who give retreats through the year. A retreat is time set apart to discuss and meditate upon a particular point be it from scripture or the spiritual traditions of the Catholic Church. This particular retreat was given near Passover. We had the meal and the priest leading us followed all the traditions including opening the door for the prophet Elijah. It was instructional and a somewhat chilly night.

שלום לך מים . רציתי רק לומר לך ( דווקא בעברית ... ) שאני מאוד שמח לצפות בך , והסיבה לכך היא כמובן שקודם כל כיף לצפות בך כי את מאוד כיפית וסיבה נוספת כי עד כמה שאני יודע את בין הבודדות אם לא היחידה מבין היהודים בהוליווד שממש מחוברת לשורשים היהודיים שלה , זה מאוד מרענן , תצליחי !!!
Mano, Mano...matzoh, cake mixes, memories, and more! I remember the dishes, the prep, the smells, and family. Pesach rolls... From matzoh meal. 💕 Fried matzoh! We still eat matzoh all year round. Thanks for the memories. 😊😊😢 Those people, mostly,from my earliest are gone, and while we make new memories for our family today, those come with me every year.

That's the best thing I've ever heard!!!
I’m a protestant Christian and love to learn about different religions! Thanks for this information
I was raised a Catholic, though along the way I've become B'nai Noach. It makes me sad that Christian religions don't really teach us that the Abrahamic religions are absolutely founded on Judaism- on the Torah. They separate us from the divine Torah, making the "Old Testament" seem dusty and irrelevant. During the time of Moshiach we will all return to the Torah.
Lion Alesso a non catholic
Manly Moesha negatively? Why do you feel the need to bring that up?
This is your history as a Christian Marshadietcokea.
Different religions? Jews and Christians worship the same God. The only difference is one adds to the law rendering God’s law powerless and rejects the Messiah, the other completely disregards the law and teaches that the New Testament contradicts the law of Moses.
It’s no wonder that Jews will never know their Messiah.
At Pesach, I love the sense of belonging to something much much bigger and important than my everyday life! When I am in the process of getting rid of all the leaven from my home, I am connecting to HaShem. And asking him to get rid of the sin (leaven) in my heart! Baruch HaShem!
Muslims in Syria used to celebrate the Passover, in a less festive way of course. I remember my grandmother making great food and a huge feast for "The day on which Moses defeated the pharaoh".
I celebrate Passover also as a Christian. It's the one of the most important feast the God command us to keep. We accept that Jesus has is came in the flesh to full fill the prophecy of the Passover. We keep Passover with the unleavened bread and wine.
Happy Passover!
I also celebrate it as a Christian. Mazzel tov!
CJ † amen!
With all due respect and with my understanding Passover has nothing to do with sin. 😊
FreeSpirit care to elaborate with some scriptures?
Gabriella Fonseca Exodus 12 explains Passover.
It's when the God brought them out of slavery out of Egypt and they slayed a young lamb without blemishes put the blood on the door post and they roasted the lamb with fire. They put the blood on the post so the God would pass over when he was killing first the first born .
Not about sin it's about how God was mad....
I love this! I was disconnected from my Jewish heritage when I was 5, so I lost most of the knowledge that I had about passover from when I was a kiddo. I definitely remember matzoh, and a tradition that my family had about hiding it for the kids to find. Now as I vegan I HAVE TO subscribe to this channel. Thanks for your inspiring content. :-)
The tradition you refer to is "Finding the Afikomen" - an important (fun) part of the seder. All Jews do it - not just your family! ;)
As a Christian, we learned about Passover in Sunday School. But my story has nothing to do with the holiday but with the Manischewitz. I grew up in a dry house (no alcohol). My father had won a bottle of the wine in question at a company party. Without telling anyone, he put it in the refrigerator to cool. The next day I went into the refrigerator and thought i saw a bottle of "grape juice". I poured myself a small glass and took a large gulp. SURPRISE - Wine tastes nothing like Grape Juice. I dropped the glass, spilling the wine, screamed at the horrible taste, and caused both my mother and father to come into the kitchen.
Bottom line - mom grew up in a "dry house", dad got yelled at for bringing wine into the house, I got a good talking to for opening the bottle without permission. And finally, I didn't taste alcohol again until I was 22.
kosher wine is always sweet, and Manischewitz is no exception. It's only drunk for a blessing, it's not what we would drink if we wanted an alcoholic beverage.
um ....we do if we are kids and left unattended
And how did you get it open? 🤔
My ignorance about Jewish Tradition is huge, so I really appreciate that you share this video with us gentiles. Love you, Mayim, you are one of a kind. What a woman!
*Mayim, you're my Wonder Woman!*
Hananya Naftali I'm telling gal, your done Hananya.
Shalom happy over
She's an actual jew. Not one of those "jews for Jesus" like I think.u r
@@chanabayla1823 THANK YOU!! Every year these Messy-Antics as I call them, have their Messy-antic "seder" and of course if you've had any exposure to Judaism and a REAL seder, you know something's off. it doesn't take long before they shoehorn JESUS or this nonsensical Yesshoooooooooooooooooooooooa wacka waaca into the mix; forgetting we left Egypt and PAGANISM. It's as kosher as ham.
@@chanabayla1823 what's wrong with Jesus jews ?
I’m not Jewish, but my priests’ wife is. One year for our church we celebrated Passover as a new experience. It’s been over 5 years and I’ll always remember how calming and loving it was. It’s an amazing experience
I was born and raised in Israel (before I moved to Canada in 2004) and I always remember those Sedar that I had as a kid. I remember that before my grandmother passed away, we had one sedar at her and my granddad's house. My great grandmother also joined us and she used to make gefilte fish from scratch and bring it. As a kid I loved it but as an adult, I don't like fish. I also remember that same Seder we played "find the afikomen" and my brother and I searched for hours. They even did the "hot-cold" game with us and we had hard time finding it. It turned out my granddad hid it above the dishwasher. Those kind of memories I will always cherish.
Keren come back it's time.
Keren no
So you speak hebrew?
Because i am and i living in i israel.
Honest question as Christian... is the passover celebrated as a somber, solemn remembrance of the events leading up to the exodus, or are they joyous and boisterous celebrations praising YehWeh in his deliverance from the oppression...i hope I do not offend but everything I've read in the bible paints it as a somber memorial. Am I wrong?
Passover is a lovely connection to our ancestors and our children.
My memory is good food, feeling sleepy. All of us would gather up and talk and lots of laughter, fall asleep in my dad's chair that felt gigantic.
Lots of singing. Just warm and loving memories. The blanket that my bubbe had made that smelled like strawberries and soap.
Thanks you for this video. I am a Christian and have not experienced a full Passover celebration, yet, so it was very informative to get an expanded sense of what it is all about. I've studied the bible for a long time, yet your video sheds a light of enthusiasm on the special time that helps to understand it better.
I couldn't even finish this video. I wanted to seriously learn of the Passover and thos feels like blasphemy. Are you really Jewish or just making fun of them?
I’m Jewish by blood even though my family practices another religion. However I grew up celebrating the Passover and Chanukah. I love celebrating the Passover and I think it’s just such a wonderful way to celebrate a different religion and the culture of my ancestors. I hope to continue this tradition with my family as well.
As a Christian your videos give beautiful depth to the heritage that we share through The Torah.
As a Protestant Christian, I've always found it difficult to explain "Easter" to my kids, but through Passover, the message is a little more family friendly. Another reason I concentrate on the Passover traditions surrounding the holiday, is that most "Easter Traditions" are actually Pagon.... God commanded us to teach our families through the First Testament holidays, so I do. Thank you Mayim; it's nice to have Hollywood people expressing their Faith...
the whole video i'm smiling like a crazy person
lol i love you Mayim!!!!
Same! Mayim seems to just have that effect on people. ♥
Isn't Passover called that because G-d's angel passed over any house where blood was put on the doorpost and "only" killed the firstborn son of non-Jews that didn't get a heads up? I mean, I like your videos a lot but omitting this etymology and breezing past it when you talk about your first question, "What is Passover?" seems disingous. I'd really like to know how you, as a vegan, intellectually deal with G-d killing, if not the Egyptian's boys, but G-d killing the firstborn of their animals. Is this one of those things you can't address because you had a corporate sponsor? I'm not trying to be mean. I'd really like to know. That story is also part of my faith, and I'm also curious as to how my faith handles these questions, but for that I'll ask my pastor.
Happy Passover to all the Christ Killers out there! You celebrate the murder of Jesus Christ today, just like you did 2,000 years ago and you are not fooling anyone!
I was just about to say what Yalin said before ne. Miam i mivex to San Diego in1979. Im a displaced New Yorker originally from Brooklyn. 💘 Manhattan too. U.bring back hamish New York City and all i left behind, including my friends and family. Friends hamish including my Mom her family all my cousins etc. Not my Dad and not my Sister (in old age and in growing up.)The Haters.
I am catholic and I grew up celebrating Passover at my youth group church every year not really sure why, because I know that Christianity doesn't continue with a lot of Jewish culture. But I loved going through the different foods and I love the tradition behind it. It connects us (at least it connects me) to Jesus and the last supper, but also what our religious ancestors and Gods chosen people had to go through. As the bible contains the Old testament I think its a really important holiday to celebrate or at least know the significance of. Although Catholics don't prep for it for a month :)
I'm not Jewish, but my mom's best friend was a Rabbi and I remember my first seder st her house. Her sons & husband set the table & were very excited because my mom, dad & I were the first non-Jews they celebrated with. I remember lots of matzoh - which I still love to this day- and wine. I remember coloring books describing the Exodus for us kids & just the laughs & love at the table. I remember well how happy they were to share their faith with us & how happy my parents were to help them finish the wine! Happy Passover 😀
Despite my lack of belief in God I’ve always found different religions and cultural traditions to be interesting. That is part of the reason why I’m subscribed. Thanks for the enthusiastic educational videos you provide.
amen i love this and i is a very devout catholic who celebrates the Sababbath
These comments are some of the most respectful religious debate I have ever seen. I admire (and enjoy!) the thoughtful discourse.
I have really been enjoying following you for the last few months, Mayim. Your videos related to Judaism are especially heartwarming for me. Most of my childhood, i.e. my primary and secondary school years, I grew up in a town that was predominantly Jewish. Our school system observed holidays like Rosh Hashanah, and our class graduation was moved from Saturday afternoon to Thursday night for our class valedictorian. In college, I dated an orthodox Jewish man for a year, walked to and attended shul with him most Friday evenings, and even lived with him and kept kosher for 6 months. Boiling all of our kitchenware was an adventure! We hosted a kosher Thanksgiving and a pared down version of Passover in our apartment. I remember cleaning the corners with a feather! The whole experience touched me, because I really appreciated the attention and care involved. Thank you for sharing the stories of your faith. 💚
This is a strong prohibition as a jew cannot have relations with a gentile. You also are under no obligation to keep kosher. It is like putting 91 octane in an 87 car.
A B M I’ve always said I grew up in a Pillsbury bread part of the Bay Area - then I think about it and realize we were quite mixed. We had quite a few Jewish kids in school and were always a bit envious they had extra holidays, and our teachers included Jewish history a bit so we understood. I watched with awe as Mrs. Schafir in our court cleaned, and she explained why she had so many pans, that she grew up non-Jewish and had to learn all of this too, then let me try matzo. It was quite cool, I liked her a lot.
Worshipping the idol excitingly make you happy idol worshipping 🤩 your God is not if his name is Jesus Christ 😭😭🙏😭😭🙏 idol worship his real name is Yahawashi hebrews name him brown skin man , not red edomites

Fake Jews 2: 9 revelation
I was raised in a non-religious household, but my father was raised Jewish and we always went to my grandma's house for Passover growing up. To this day it's my favorite holiday. I love the story of people essentially demanding and taking their own liberation. Plus the meal with family and friends is just lovely.
Happy Passover!
I just discovered, through Ancestry, that I’m not of Russian or Polish Jewish heritage like my grandmother said! I’m Norwegian and Finnish Jewish. I even found out that on my mom’s side I have Jewish roots in Ireland as well!
Because of these results I’ve been doing a lot of research into my family and discovered 4 second cousin’s in Norway who look just like my dad!
Jewish as in Judah or one of the other ten tribes that were lost and went through all them country’s you just said ? Study up good stuff
@@cameronleaana1153 I don’t think the 10 have been identified via DNA (though I’m sure we probably all have at least one of those 10 by now!). I believe only Judah and maybe even more so Levi? have DNA patterns identified.
In other words you're just a very white person with history of Jewish religion in the past lol
That is so cool!
I was always told from my moms side that we were Sephardic but with AncestryDNA I discovered nope not at all were Ashkenazi mainly from German and Russia And Poland I hand no idea I was Russian
I was in a Sunday Christian Church until 3years ago when I found out that the Messiah celebrated Passover and the I wanted to celebrate it myself and learn about it then I changed to become a Messianic Jew and this year will be the start of my third year following Torah and having Passover.
As an Italian, I find the idea of it taking that many steps to get to dinner crazy. As a gay man, the story reminds me to keep hope alive in the dark times because things get better.
Don't worry, by step three you get to have a bite of celery or cucumber :-)
Also, the last few steps are after you've eaten the meal.
Stop being so hateful, Moesha. Yeesh.
Michael "''dinner'' isn't the main focus. It is the telling of the escape from slavery in Egypt.
Joseph Mingle he’s gay so he’s still bound to spend an eternity in Hell unless he repents and turns away from his ways. So, yes despite the favourable times, he faces very dark times. But what do you know about Heavenly Father and His commands?!
I love hearing about the Jewish faith. Thank you Mayim for sharing your love of your faith.
I love Mayim's Jewish education videos! I'm Catholic and I always love learning about different faiths and practices.
Hi Nola. Is your Jesus the same as mine, that became the Passover Lamb? Have you forgotten that He was/is a Jew? Nothing has changed. He's the same yesterday, today and everlasting. Please, please read your Bible, you'll see that the OT matches the NT and vise versa.
I am Jewish and have MANY wonderful memories of HUGE and very long Passover seders with lots of Manischewitz products. I’ve noticed many non-Jewish folks have mentioned that either their churches or families celebrated Passover, but I didn’t see anyone having mentioned that Christ’s Last Supper was said to have been a Passover meal. Someone made brief mention of the DaVinci masterpiece, but did not make the point.
I love it when our religious holidays cross over. If anyone ever had any question, just take note of how close Passover is to Easter, and that Passover always comes before Easter. 😊 It’s a beautiful world when we celebrate together.
Thank you, Mayim and Manischewitz for this terrific video. (Sorry I’m so late to the party!)
HAPPY PASSOVER, Mayim Bialik! ✡✡✡
Mayim you're videos are sooooo great. It doesn't even matter what you're talking about. Your energy is the thing.
That was funny :)
Loved how you pronounced the words in Hebrew lol
Hi from Israel, Hag Same'ach!!
LOVE all your videos but this is currently ranked as #1 fave. I am not Jewish, but I observe the Sabbath (Saturday) and have my entire life. In 2017 I was looking to make some extra money and was hired by 2 Jewish communities in my city to help out during Passover and New Years. Little did I know a job would lead me to such an eye opening experience. I didn’t really know anything about Passover or even the Hebrew calendar, and have learned so much over the course of a year. I am so excited to continue being involved in the Jewish community and have decided to keep kosher during this Passover and truly reflect on the miracle’s of God. ❤️
"He was despised & forsaken
of men; a Man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief."
Isaiah 53:3. 🌷
Halleluyah!
I am reading the bible for the
First time and finishing Gospel of Matthews and I came across the Passover. Discover them to be Jewish Festive holiday. I live in Ireland and my Fiancé has a book of the Jewish in Ireland. (Never knew why). He is Polish and we go to Poland a lot. His city is Lublin and there are many Jewish places and his father had a favourite Jewish bar, when his father passed away I was there and they were playing a playlist that his father prepared for the bar. We also had the chance to go to Krakow, we were based in the Jewish quarter, in front of the synagogue. I had the chance to go inside. I was in different Jewish restaurants and bars. In my city São Paulo, Brazil, we have many Jewish people. I wish I knew all this deep Information before, I am glad I found this TH-cam Chanel in this moment of my life, I have massive interest in all this beautiful Story of your beautiful people. Looking forward to the next Passover.
Memories: first time drinking I fell off a chair
Memories: cousin Brough his ultra Christian boyf and he proceeded to tell us we where wrong
Hahahaa
YIKES.. I hope the bf was never invited again.... funny how they think they're right but they co-opted most of the ideas from Judaism while bolting paganism onto it.. totally making it traif.
As a Catholic, it's really cool to hear about how our elder brothers (and sisters) in the faith celebrate this big holiday that is so close, both chronologically and through its meaning, to the Holy Week. This year I reflected on reviving some of the old Christian traditions related the Holy Week and I envy you for having your tradition so alive at your home.
Children, listen CLOSELY. The link below
shows how you do the appointed times correctly and which ones and
when - I watched and logged the moon for two years and I am showing you how to keep track of the days HERE: th-cam.com/video/185siLcVToI/w-d-xo.html
Why do you burn the food if you missed some. Isn't that a waste of food. Just curious on why you would burn it instead of giving it away?
Burning the hametz is symbolic, we burn just a few leftover slices of bread - as a symbol to all of our hametz. What most people do is leave their hametz at home (but covered and hidden from our eyes) and sell it to a non-Jewish for the period of Passover. After Passover it gets donated to the poor.
Give it to who? Every one is Jewish here the needy as well.

I was raised as an Irish Catholic in an area where there were very few non-Christians. I love you perspective on Passover. I learned a lot.
As Christians. We have different celebrations, but I love Chanukah. And we have celebrated it twice. I love the lights, and the menu, and having another excuse to get family together. I also like the idea of celebrating something that Jesus would have have recognized. While he did not have dreidels and gold covered chocolate coins he would have know bout the rededication of the temple and the miracle of the lights. I love the story of Passover, and would like to celebrate it, some day, but that is a celebration I will not touch. Some Christians do, but I feel that, as a non Jew, there is so ,ice missing from my background to truly give it the justice and depth of respect it is due. My family never had to flee a progrom, or the approach of the holocaust. I feel that the only way I can experience a true Passover dinner is at the table of someone who knows the scope of sacrifice and suffering this holiday remembers.
Passover Cereal? Didn’t even know that was a thing.
Same here...I want to get some!
@@karentucker2161 no u don't trust me (;
We have a tradition in our family where before the "Ma Nishtana" the kids at the Seder are given chocolate and sweets.
The reason is because in a normal day regular parents won't let their children eat candy before the meal. Doing the opposite
gives the children a reason to ask "Ma Nishtana".
Love that! Might do this at my Seder this year!
Thank you for the education! Knew I could count on you Mayim!
learning Hebrew, LOVING IT!! It's changing my heart. Now that I know I am Graphed in - I'm in for learning my heritage. My first year for Passover. Thanks for the teaching

14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

I'm not Jewish but I was a preschool teacher at a JFCC school. One of my favorite Pessach treats was dark chocolate dipped matzah. At work I paired it with grape juice along with the students as we taught them songs. I'm going to have dai ennu trapped in my head for days now. The parents usually spoiled the teachers during Hannuka, Purrim, and Pessach so we always had kosher wine at home. At home I loved the dark chocolate dipped matzah with red wine and fruit mainly blueberries or bananas. I attended several sedars and my favorite part is similar to my Pagan beliefs. I love preparing the plate for the late arrival or unexpected guest. On Samhain (Sa-when AKA Halloween) we honor our ancestors and make an extra plate as well. If no such guest arrives we set the plate on our porch or in our yard. It is nourishment for the souls seeking the Summerlands. We do remove anything which could harm any animals that might come around. So while my favorite Jewish holiday is Purrim because Esther is an amazing feminist icon and I love wine and hammentashin (I mostly love apricot, raspberry, and chocolate.) I love Pessach because this one detail is both an act of kindness and a sort of combined tradition that shows how each culture and religion are rooted in such goodness even if there are disagreements.
Thank you for the videos. I really enjoy them. Have you ever made one about brain disorders and their recovery? I'm epileptic and have fibromyalgia. I've been seizure free for three years but my right temporal lobe is basically a broken mess. Is full recovery possible? I know you're a neuroscientist which is why I would be very interested on your input on the subject. If you read this and have made a video on it please leave me a link. Thank you so much. You are a role model for girls who want to be scientists but were afraid of being too smart.
Jenni Lind Are you originally from Sweden? I have relatives with the same name from Sweden... I hope your diseases are not getting worse... Really interesting comment. Even she didn't like it. Lind is Jewish. Not? (I am neither a Jew. But: it is not that clear. --> I have my own theory why. ;-)
Nicolas Balint Personally I've never been to Sweden but I'm named after my family's most famous ancestor from there. I am mostly Swedish and Irish. I'd love to move to one of these lands to live my life though. I think it would be quite interesting.
As a child, Passover was when we would all sit at "the children's table" in the living room and get absolutely wasted on bubbie's homemade wine. It was so sweet, it made Manischewitz red taste like a very dry white. Naturally, my cousins and I would get all flushed, with our hair matted to our very sweaty foreheads, while we waited for the various aunts to emerge from the kitchen with a bowl of this and plate of that. Getting 3 knaidlach (matzoh balls) in your bowl was a treat.
Since my own childhood harkens back to a MUCH earlier time, when the NHL had but 6 teams, this was usually also when the Stanley Cup finals were on. My grandfather struggled to keep my dad and uncles at the table, and fight their collective urge to move to the living room and turn on the TV. The only ritual they wanted to stretch out past 10:00PM was the 2nd and 3rd period.
Necessary for Passover is a very good dustpan and whisk broom. Imagine the driest possible Christmas tree, constantly dropping its needles, and that's pretty much what the 24hr shower of matzoh crumbs is like.
Manischewitz and Streits seem to send talent scouts out to the parking lots of every top-tier food-chemistry program in the nation, to recruit graduates that can emulate "normal" food with Passover ingredients. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but Passover noodles and pizza crusts just do NOT cut it. These are science experiments gone awry. It's *only* 8 days, folks. Deal with it. I'm sure you can manage. It beats wandering in the desert for 40 years, right?
I have the distinction of having "pesach" (Hebrew for Passover) as my middle name in Hebrew.
Very informational!
mayim is awesome
Mayim, im 35 yrs old and have been a HUGE fan of you since i saw u in Beaches and then watched Blossom religiously. And then u joined my favorite show in The Big Bang Theory. when i saw u first on TBBT i went nuts doing a happy dance.
You are such a well rounded person and so beautiful on the inside which matches your outter beauty. And although im straight, you were my firsr girl crush and of course Joey Lawrance was my first boy crush. .
Also ive been crazily obsessed with Michael Jackson from age 2 when i first saw Rock With You on my nannas television, the MJ obsession stopped when i became a mother 4 and a half yrs ago. . Anyway im so shocked at how much u worked as a child and still turned out so extremely well rounded and seemingly a FANTASTIC mother. i know nobody is perfect, but you seem to come close. Good on you and thank you for not breaking my heart by letting Hollywood break your spirit.
i mentioned MJ because of u being in his music video.
i am VERY curious if u met him or not because u weren't in frame with him.
Either way you seem to have led a wonderful life but u stayed grounded somehow.
CONGRATULATIONS .
As Passover is meant to pass on the story of the Exodus to the children, it's important to make the Seder fun! It's a long meal and we have a tradition to get the kids up from the table about 30 minutes before the break in the seder for dinner and take the kids to the kitchen where we dip fresh strawberries into melted chocolate then put them in the refrigerator to set for dessert. It celebrates the wonderful sweet berries (sweet like our freedom) and the tradition of dipping foods at the seder. It also gets the kids busy and feeling important because they contributed to the meal! This year, with the first seder falling on the Sabbath, we'll be making them in the afternoon but it's still a cherished family tradition - in addition to all the others!
No, it's passing the Jewish houses, while the "angel" of death killed the firstborn son of each Egyptian family... according to the cruel Jewish narrative
I grew up Catholic, but our church held a Sedar every Passover. I haven't celebrated Passover in 20 years (we moved away in my late teens), but I have fond memories of sitting at an enormous table, telling stories, and actually being allowed wine as teenagers! (If we wanted; there was always grape juice, and no pressure or teasing if we opted for it instead.) I always thought the Sedar went by so fast, even though it was HOURS (and I always kind of assumed it was good ol' Catholic solemnity that drew it out so long - ha!)
I’m not Jewish, but Manishewitz wine was a staple at all of my great grandmothers holidays. Wasn’t thanksgiving without it! I was also really fortunate to grow up in a church that had a great relationship with a synagogue in town, so I got to attend a few seders.
i love this girl so much ! She still acts like Amy!
as a non-Jew i LOVE celebrating Passover with my fiancé and his family. It's pretty fun actually. Also, Mayim could you live stream or record a passover sader for people who can't participate in one themselves? Due to personal issues we will not be participating this year but I'd love to feel like im participating.
why would you ask her to live stream on one of the holiest days of the year? She is not a reform Jew, she actually keeps Mitzvoth......... so no live streaming of a Seder if its the real thing!
Watch Good Mythical Morning. Rhett and Link recently did a Seder video with Larry King
You need to leave your fiancee as it is prohibited for a gentile and a jew to have relations.
Race traitor.
This video made me smile so much - I’m not a Jew, nor religious but have always been fond of the Jewish faith as they seems to portray fun and kind people. I would love to be involved in some Jewish festivities but was never sure if I’d be allowed as a non-Jew. Happy Passover!
Happy Passover, and thank you for teaching me about Passover.

I was raised Catholic. Sometime in the 70s the Catholic Church decided to acknowledge Jesus as a Jew. This involved teaching about Seder and revealing that the Last Supper was a Seder meal. I love the Seder and, after learning about it, I began to incorporate the Haggadah and the grape juice into our Easter festivities. That was the year that Manechevitz began giving away Haggadah at the Passover display at Safeway. Admittedly, I bought the grape juice because I like it and think it tastes better than Welch's. So there you go. My favorite memory. Thanks Mayim . I always enjoy these videos so much.
Matzoh and butter all day long. 8 days later 8 lbs.heavier. LOVE matzoh and butter.

I'm not Jewish, but was introduced to matzoh while at college. I fell in love with them. Would eat they with any meal. I would take as many as I could so I could fill a stash of them for later. Now when I go through the Kosher isle I become nostalgic for that stash of matzoh. This Friday I will be going to my first Seder with my friend who is converting. I feel so honored to be invited, I can't wait.
p.s. Thank you Mayim for sharing your Faith.
My Passover memories mostly involve watching Shari Lewis’ Passover special and acting out all of Lambchop’s parts with my Lambchop puppet. There was the one year, though, where I accidentally broke a glass while waiting for my dad to finish the blessings, then decided he was taking too long and just started eating my matzo balls. Passover dinner and ADHD are super incompatible :)
I'm over 50 now and pretty secular but I have fond memories of reading the four questions, hunting for matzoh after the brisket is finished and running to open the front door to let Eliyahu in for some wine from the special goblet set for him at the table. then all the kids would leave the room to listen to disco or rock albums (this was the 70s) or to go watch the ten commandments on TV while the adults lit cigarettes or cigars and started playing poker (the men) and mah jong (the women). my wife now is a Latina Catholic and even tho I'm not religious I want her to experience a proper seder one day.

Passover tradition for my family. We always watch Fiddler while we eat our dinner during Seder. After the wine - we all sing along.
Just curious. Is Hebrew read from left to right or right to left? Also you are so much prettier as you than they let you be on the show. Love your videos. They are very informative.

When I was a kid, the seders at my Orthodox grandparents' house went on until early morning. The little kids would pass out in their chairs as the service continued. Conversely, seders on the other side were often held in a hotel, with few if no prayers and gifts (!) for all the kids. We got all dressed up and boy did we love it. Home seders were not as long, but the house had been cleaned we were all dressed up (I still remember a pair of patent leather pumps and a crinoline dress) and the food made by my wonderful mother was delicious. Seders were wonderful and I cherish the memories.
I was raised half n half. So I remember my family only did Passover 1 time ....I was about age 8 or 9. I remember little about it. My parents divorced in 1968 n then it was foster care - 3 different homes - one for each of us. I am the oldest of the three n was left in charge...so I am bossy. Today I am the survivor. All my family is predeceased. I can become very lonely. I no longer celebrate anything. It has no meaning when totally alone. I have my half wild cat Chloe n a stray I call Moe as companions. When is there a new big bang???????? Storyline .....I feel needs some revamping......a spark of something, is missing from the characters. I know there are guest spots. Hire me!!!! I could play the vagrant that Sheldon n Amy take in. Lol. Or some university colleague? Seriously.....these new episodes need that little something to entice n add spice!!! Ps I worked as special extra, right here in Montreal, Quebec....Canada. Now I am 61 n in chronic pain. Ach wish you happiness. Waiting for you to marry your best friend. You have the right to remarry n have that life bond!!!! All best wishes.....sincerely, Malka
Malka Ringel I hope things get better for you!
Megan. Tks for your best wishes!
That makes two of us! Malka Ringel, I am going through some personal trials too, Hope things get better for you!
MARK Z. I think life is a process of "going through things" if only to learn lessons n grow? Thanks for your words...it's helpful to know that we ar not alone! Sending you best wishes....n..that you come out stronger on the other side!
You might be able to experience a Seder at Chabad House. I grew up with both parents Jewish, and we did two Seders every year with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends. Nearly all are gone now, and boy do I miss having a family at this time of year
Even though I was brought up catholic we had manischewtiz wine at thanksgiving and Christmas! Oh the memories!
So excited for this vid. Thank Elohim for you.

Thanks for enthusiastically sharing your faith and heritage in such an understandable way! Helps midwestern gentiles like me learn so much. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this Mitzvoh! I shared it with my non-Jewish young adults to let them know what Passover is about. You are perfect for that. On Passover 2020 - I am grateful for you.
So, that first year as an "adult" in the Jewish sense, I was encouraged to drink the real stuff over the grape juice. My mom was generous with her pour, and lets just say, that year, I passed out with my face in my bowl of matzoh ball soup. A sip of wine.... Dayenu!
Manishewets memory unrelated to passover: made matzo/flatbread balls when I literally had zero food in my apartment (I had just moved out and didn't know anything). God provided!!! I ate them with earl grey tea.
Also, mom brought me food the next day because she wasn't gonna let me starve.
Beesweetbeeyou hope things are better now
Mayim Bialik is the only person who's ever made me feel like a religious holiday celebration would be the happenin' place to be!! I freaking love her!!😁😁😁
I love Manishewitz!! As a kid, their macaroons were (still are) fabulous!. (However havent ibdulged due to dietary changes...trying to veganize😉) The concord grape wine is still one of my fave go -to wines. Love the white cream wine as well! Hag Sameach!! Love, Sue

A couple of years ago my youngest brother hosted his first seder. I helped by buying some of the supplies. While shopping in the relatively large Passover section at one of the stores I found a bag of plagues. Yes, little plastic representations that can be held while reading the appropriate section. They added some fun and now we use them at all the seders.

The new background looks so fresh! Liked! :D
Were not Jewish but my husband was a youth worker for a few years and loved doing slightly crazy things. We had a Purim party and when it came to Passover we had grape juice and Matzoh. Trying to find Matzoh in our local supermarket was hysterical because we didn’t actually know what it looked like!
And clearly I can’t spell today!
love from the netherlands.
Every Passover my father dress up as a Hebrew slave who came to Israel from Egypt. He leaves the house,knocks on the door and then comes in and does a whole show. Then he lets the kids do the show too, they really like it and that's what keeps them up late.
I'ts funny too.
Of course we steal the afikoman and "blackmail" Grandpa until he promises to buy us what we ask for, and only then we give him back the afikoman. My experiences and memories from Passover are happy and fun memories thanks to my beautiful family. I really love this holiday! Happy Passover Mayim ☺🍷
Every day. Is a holiday for an atheist
Yes! I LOVE being an atheist.
Charles living life to the fullest everyday!
Woo! Let’s celebrate nothing! Why you ask, because nothing! Yay nothing.
This will be our first true celebration of Passover... We were accustomed to good Friday so We don't know what we are doing... I am watching your videos and others to find out.. thank you for helping us.. Baruch Hashem Shalom ❤
Hello so we gave up Easter years after learning the truth behind it and bc we are graphed in we now celebrate Passover every year yay. The first year we tried to make it super serious with all the bells and whistles but have learned to let that go out the window. So after my father in law was teaching the lesson he stood up to bless the meal and then Sat down, Where then chair broke and he was laying on the floor so He jumped up yelling and saying some not so holy words and we all laughed. So now he still teaches but the older kids take over most of the reading and the night is a blast. SHALOM
Do you actually believe that God favored 'your' people and helped you escape Egypt? And do you actually believe that your God(Yhvh) killed all the children of Egypt? I am serious. I want to hear it from you. Do you believe that your God is the one? But why did he have a selected group of people? Why didn't your God show himself/reveal stuffs in other parts of the world in your opinion? Or would you also say that he did reveal himself and thus people have different faiths and understanding? I do not find that appealing at all.. I would like you to answer these because I want to hear the answers to these, not from an overly religious person, but from someone as intellectual as you, who otherwise would absolutely abandon religion already. Toda rabah!
I should hope not. As there is no evidence that Jews were ever slaves in Egypt, they can actually have fun getting drunk celebrating the story of god hardening Pharaohs heart just so god could go on a murder spree of all the innocent children, since it's a made up story, no harm done. Pretty good excuse to get plastered, really.
That's our people history for us pal, you have like 100 200 years of history so it sounds funny to you, but our history goes back 4000 years. Just like the Greeks had God's in there mythology, or the Roman's that say a she wolf cared for human children that went on to create Rome. So please do be so disrespectful it's a tradition 3800 years old that's insane. And you come here and judge us. 😌.
it's older than that. This year is 5778.
Flaw in your premise, which sounds like, "intellectuals have no need for religion, having replaced it with science."
The purpose of the bible is not to relay facts about what happened X years ago. It is a compilation of stories that encode & transmit ancient advice on how to live a good life. "Belief" is not a matter of taking fiction as fact. It is a matter of trusting that the fiction contains real wisdom, thus is worth the effort to decode.
imiss toronto yes but Jews are from Abraham not noha.
The first time I sang the Ma Nishtana during a Seder I was probably five years old. We were celebrating with about a hundred people at a hotel and just that night I noticed that one of my teeth got real loose. So while the Seder started to turn towards the Ma Nishtana, I grabbed a handkerchief and pulled my tooth out - just in time to grab the mic and sing the four questions, hoping that I wouldn't spit blood all over the place.
My favorite memory was at about 8 years old (in the early 70s) we had a seder at synagogue. Our favorite part as kids was the finding of the Afikoman (non-Jews can google that!). There must have been 50 kids running around the synagogue with at least a dozen kids going through the large waste cans assuming that's where it would be. They were empty at the time. Each can had a large, black hefty bag that was pulled over the top of the can. I stood there looking and thought, "The best hiding place wouldn't be INSIDE the can, but OUTSIDE the can." I looked around the cans and could see the outline of the matzah, the square of it, tucked under the hefty bag. All those kids looking and not seeing it! It was right there! I walked up and pulled it out. i was so happy. The rabbi had a gift for whomever found it. A kite reel. It was like a fishing reel for a kite. I kept that thing forever and all these years, I still remember it!
You could make your own matzo, add salt and pepper and onion powder, etc. Delicious, tastes nothing like store-bought, and kosher for Passover too. Bakes really quickly. You just have to bake it within eighteen minutes after you get the flour wet, so there isn't a chance of "leavening."

Passover: Is a very fun holiday(serious business)
I'm actually converting to Judaism. When I first tried Manishewitz wine for Shabbat. I thought it was impossibly sweet (I'm diabetic) but still an important experience to try it. I actually found some onion-flavored matzo that were delicious. Actually, I like that matzo has a good amount of fiber to the extent that it's actually a healthy snack option for me, in my opinion.
I love when you explain the Jewish Traditions! I'm going to a temple in Newton MA recently and slowly learning the traditions and religion. The community is really warm and beautiful and ponders serious questions like me (and you). Thank you, I learned many things I didnt know about passover and I appreciate it. Anshin Kelly
I’ve been to a Passover dinner it was truly enlightening. We actually had it at the baptist church I attended. I wish I remembered the details but it’s been so long.
I am very thankful for your videos on Judaism and Jewish traditions. I am an Atheist and have raised my 21 year daughter and now my 9 year old son without religion. However, our family is extremely varied in both race and religious history and practice. I want them to at least have an understanding of the religious practices of our family and since they run the gamut from my Atheism and dabbling in Ancient Celtic religions, to Judaism, Buddhism, Catholicism, and essentially we figured out the only religion we don't think is represented in our family is Islam. So, it has been really informative, and helpful for respecting and celebrating the Jewish customs of our family and friends. I am hopeful to someday, with great preparation, observe all of the religious rites of our combined family members in a year. I'm thinking I may need at least 2, but I'm going to try.
"Atheism is the worship of Man's vanity", kent krueger✡✡✡✡✡✡✡
BIO LOGICAL No, atheism is a lack of belief in the supernatural. Most people don't believe in fairies, dragons, ghosts, demons, etc. This is just a continuation of that. There is as much solid, verifiable proof for all of those things as there is for a god. Also most people don't believe in Zeus, Poseidon, Odin, Ganesh, etc. And this is also just a continuation of that, atheists just go one god further. And thanks for hijacking someone else's really informative video to show your ignorance of other belief, or lack of belief systems. That was really classy of you.
We opened the front door for Elijah, and a short time later a “street person” entered the front hall. Wow!!! Were we surprised, packed up a meal for him, and wished him peace and happiness!
So most Portuguese people have sephardic ancestors. It's really interesting to me that passover is the one holiday that Jewish people Don't eat challah bread (on account of it being bread), but the Catholics have a tradition to give godchildren a 'folar de pascoa' (practically challah bread) for Easter.
To me it seems like our ancestors liked it so much that we incorporated it into a time when we wouldn't be able to eat it.
Almost like 'grandma says we can't eat it cause it has yeast.' 'Yeah, well, I'm Catholic now, so I Will eat it!'
My Irish Catholic grandma was a major fan of Manishewicz Creme Red Concord wine. She always had a bottle and would have a glass at night after dinner. She lived to be 98 years young!
Manishewitz ( a subsidiary of Constellation wines) was bought by Grupo Modelo long ago.
I once attended a seder at a retreat house. This particular place is run by the Passionists. This is an order of Roman Catholic Priests and Brothers who give retreats through the year. A retreat is time set apart to discuss and meditate upon a particular point be it from scripture or the spiritual traditions of the Catholic Church. This particular retreat was given near Passover. We had the meal and the priest leading us followed all the traditions including opening the door for the prophet Elijah. It was instructional and a somewhat chilly night.

שלום לך מים . רציתי רק לומר לך ( דווקא בעברית ... ) שאני מאוד שמח לצפות בך , והסיבה לכך היא כמובן שקודם כל כיף לצפות בך כי את מאוד כיפית וסיבה נוספת כי עד כמה שאני יודע את בין הבודדות אם לא היחידה מבין היהודים בהוליווד שממש מחוברת לשורשים היהודיים שלה , זה מאוד מרענן , תצליחי !!!
Mano, Mano...matzoh, cake mixes, memories, and more! I remember the dishes, the prep, the smells, and family. Pesach rolls... From matzoh meal. 💕 Fried matzoh! We still eat matzoh all year round. Thanks for the memories. 😊😊😢 Those people, mostly,from my earliest are gone, and while we make new memories for our family today, those come with me every year.
