Getting Passed Over: Is Pesach a Misnomer or Have we Missed the Point? The name Passover has always bothered me. God passed over the Israelite houses as He wrathfully slaughtered the firstborn of Egypt. Sure, the Egyptians deserved it and it’s a moment of true justice… but Passover is about a lot of things!

Total Solar Eclipses only happen on Earth.

Zachor – The Greatest Trick the Devil ever Pulled WASN’T Convincing the World he Didn’t Exist. > Remember what Amalek did to you on the road, on your way out of Egypt. That he encountered you on the way and cut off those lagging to your rear, when you were tired and exhausted; he did not fear G‑d.
