00:00:09.234 --> 00:00:11.664


00:00:11.664 --> 00:00:13.610
-Wake up Blue!

00:00:13.610 --> 00:00:14.788
-Hello Charlie!

00:00:14.788 --> 00:00:15.764
Hello you!

00:00:15.764 --> 00:00:20.650


00:00:20.650 --> 00:00:21.910
-Look Charlie.

00:00:21.910 --> 00:00:23.521
It's my birthday!

00:00:23.521 --> 00:00:24.020
-I know.

00:00:24.020 --> 00:00:26.470
Happy birthday!

00:00:26.470 --> 00:00:28.270
-Mmmm, cake!

00:00:28.270 --> 00:00:29.502
My favourite.

00:00:29.502 --> 00:00:31.080
Thank you.

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:32.920
I wish we could have
birthday cake everyday.

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.630


00:00:35.630 --> 00:00:37.390
Woo hoo!

00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:38.765
-But then it
wouldn't be special.

00:00:38.765 --> 00:00:40.770
-I suppose you're right.

00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:44.410
What else do people
celebrate with special food?

00:00:44.410 --> 00:00:47.660
-Jewish people celebrate
Passover with a special meal.

00:00:47.660 --> 00:00:50.630
I learned about it
in school today.

00:00:50.630 --> 00:00:54.390
This is a picture of Moses,
leading the Israelites out

00:00:54.390 --> 00:00:55.390
of Egypt.

00:00:55.390 --> 00:00:56.765
-Why did he do that?

00:00:56.765 --> 00:00:58.680
-Why don't you come
with me and find out?

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:02.432


00:01:02.432 --> 00:01:04.838
-Zippity zip,
let's go on a trip!

00:01:04.838 --> 00:01:41.394


00:01:41.394 --> 00:01:50.385
-[PRAYING IN HEBREW]

00:01:50.385 --> 00:01:52.030
-What did you just say?

00:01:52.030 --> 00:01:55.340
-It's a prayer in Hebrew asking
God to bless the Passover.

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:57.616
-What was the Passover?

00:01:57.616 --> 00:02:01.160
-Well God sent 10 plagues
over the Egyptians

00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:04.127
to try and persuade Pharoah
to let the Jews go and stop

00:02:04.127 --> 00:02:05.180
being slaves.

00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:09.210
The plagues included
blood, frogs, big spots,

00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:11.490
and even the death
of the first born.

00:02:11.490 --> 00:02:14.870
That's the one that "passed
over" the Jewish people.

00:02:14.870 --> 00:02:18.606
Why don't you sit down?

00:02:18.606 --> 00:02:21.540
-Do you eat all the
things on this plate?

00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:23.010
-Yes, some of them.

00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:24.660
They help us to
remember the story.

00:02:24.660 --> 00:02:27.620
-How do they help
to tell the story?

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:30.880
-Well, the parsley dipped
in the salt water reminds us

00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:34.600
of the tears that the slaves
cried when they were in Egypt.

00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:35.340
Have a try.

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:45.270


00:02:45.270 --> 00:02:46.545
This is a lamb bone.

00:02:46.545 --> 00:02:49.707
The Jews used to cook a lamb at
Passover and offer some of it

00:02:49.707 --> 00:02:50.745
to God.

00:02:50.745 --> 00:02:52.150
This is the charoset.

00:02:52.150 --> 00:02:54.550
It's a paste of fruit
and nuts that reminds us

00:02:54.550 --> 00:02:57.350
of the cement the Jews used
to stick the bricks together

00:02:57.350 --> 00:02:59.110
then they were building
for the Egyptians.

00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:00.068
Why don't you try some?

00:03:00.068 --> 00:03:06.010


00:03:06.010 --> 00:03:07.470
This is the horseradish.

00:03:07.470 --> 00:03:10.720
If you eat enough, it could
bring tears to your eyes.

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:11.775
Why don't you try some?

00:03:11.775 --> 00:03:14.450


00:03:14.450 --> 00:03:16.825
It's supposed to remind us
of the bitterness of slavery.

00:03:16.825 --> 00:03:23.480


00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:25.410
This is a hard boiled egg.

00:03:25.410 --> 00:03:27.855
It's a symbol of new
life, and reminds us

00:03:27.855 --> 00:03:30.420
that even the darkest
of times, there's always

00:03:30.420 --> 00:03:32.322
hope for a new beginning.

00:03:32.322 --> 00:03:33.020
-What's that?

00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:36.622
It looks like a
great big cracker.

00:03:36.622 --> 00:03:38.400
-That's matzah.

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.330
It's like bread, but
without the yeast.

00:03:40.330 --> 00:03:42.890
Yeast is what makes
bread soft and springy.

00:03:42.890 --> 00:03:44.980
When the Jewish people
were leaving Egypt,

00:03:44.980 --> 00:03:47.090
they didn't have time
for the bread to rise.

00:03:47.090 --> 00:03:49.625
So they just took the
bread without yeast.

00:03:49.625 --> 00:03:50.750
Would you like to try some?

00:03:50.750 --> 00:04:02.360


00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.830
-Charlie, there's no cake!

00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:07.278
-Time to go home now, Blue.

00:04:07.278 --> 00:04:10.146
-Thank you for
answering my questions.

00:04:10.146 --> 00:04:10.990
-You're welcome.

00:04:10.990 --> 00:04:12.700
Here, this is for you.

00:04:12.700 --> 00:04:16.595
It's a seder haggadah,
the order of the service.

00:04:16.595 --> 00:04:17.095
-Thank you.

00:04:17.095 --> 00:04:29.470


00:04:29.470 --> 00:04:31.830
-So what did we learn today?

00:04:31.830 --> 00:04:34.310
-Well, today we went
to a Jewish home

00:04:34.310 --> 00:04:39.630
and we learned that Jews have
a special meal every year

00:04:39.630 --> 00:04:42.672
to help them remember
the Passover.

00:04:42.672 --> 00:04:47.480
Passover is the story of how
the Jews escaped from slavery

00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:48.956
in Egypt.

00:04:48.956 --> 00:04:51.350
The different foods are symbols.

00:04:51.350 --> 00:04:56.516
That means they stand for things
which help us to remember.

00:04:56.516 --> 00:04:57.890
It's important to
remember things

00:04:57.890 --> 00:05:01.420
that happened a long
time ago, because they

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:06.180
help us to think about who we
are and where we came from.

00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:08.520
Do you know where I came from?

00:05:08.520 --> 00:05:12.150
-I found you in the
park on this day.

00:05:12.150 --> 00:05:15.210
-I'm so glad you did.

00:05:15.210 --> 00:05:16.562
-Me too.

00:05:16.562 --> 00:05:18.620
Good night Blue.

00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:22.720
-[YAWN] Night Charlie.
