Shalom everyone!
I hope all of you are enjoying the holiday week, wherever you may be (and whichever holiday(s) you might be observing!).
Did you know that the official color of the Pesach Festival is green?
It's true!
Pesach is observed in the month of Nisan -- the first month of the Hebrew calendar -- which is to say, at the advent of Spring. Symbols of spring abound on the Seder plate: the zeroa, or shankbone, commemorating the sacrifice of the spring lamb; the roasted egg, again commemorating an offering (the chagiga or Festival offering) but also representing new life; and most obviously, the karpas or green herb.
