Passover on the J site, 55 Cool Passover Videos, 157 Hotsites

Hi Everyone!

Passover is a Jewish holiday, of Biblical origin, marking the birth of the Jews as a people and their emergence as a unique nation in history, devoted to G-d's will. It celebrates the liberation of the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt over 3000 years ago, under the leadership of Moses. This year Passover begins on Saturday night, April 19, 2008.

The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment

http://www.j.co.il

has several entertaining features for Passover:

Passover Trivia

In what Hebrew month is Passover celebrated ?
Why do we eat matzah during Passover ?
How old was Moshe's mother when she gave birth to Moshe ?
How long did the Jews' exile in Egypt last ?
Where did the Jews live in Egypt ?
How many days did the plague of blood last ?
What happened to Pharoh's daughter, Batiya, when the
Jewish people left Egypt ?

The above questions are examples from the multiple choice
Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings.
Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable.

Additional Passover resources and games on the J site include:
Free Passover Clipart
The Multilingual Word Search Game (English / Hebrew / Russian)
My Jewish Coloring Book (online / offline)
Hebrew Hangman Game
Hebrew Passover Songs with Vowels (Nikud)

The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not enough, I posted on my website 157 links about Passover, ranging from laws and customs to games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, French, Portugese, Italian and German.

All 157 links have been reviewed / checked this week.
