Topic: It’s About Time: 104 Dimensions of Time in the Passover Seder
Bryan will be discussing some ideas from his book It's About Time: 104 Dimensions of Time in the Passover Seder. In a series of what used to be called “quick snappers”, Schwartz points out, for example, that Passover (Pesach) actually combines two ancient Jewish spring Festivals – the sacrifice of the first-born lamb and the first fruits of the harvest of the grain that was planted in the late fall or winter. He groups his explanations and commentaries into 21 categories related to time. The first group – Cyclical Time – discusses Pesach’s connection to Purim preceding it and Shavuot seven weeks later. He further explains Pesach in Israel and why, in Israel, only one Seder is designated as compared to two in the diaspora, how the date for the first Seder is officially determined, and what the rules are when the Seders overlap with Shabbat. Registrants can download the book for free by clicking here.
