Next week marks the beginning of Passover , an important Jewish holiday. I recently wrote about this for The Telegram: it was fascinating to learn about the prayers and the rituals, the Seder plates and the chametz, all to commemorate the founding of Israel after the escape from slavery and forty years of wandering in the desert. Only due to a typo this came out as forty years of wondering in the desert. ("I wonder why we're in the desert?" they must have often asked themselves.)
