Feast
Observed
in

George
PRINCE
GEORGE,
June
3
An
unusual
ceremony
took
place
in
Prince
George,
for
the
first
time
In
the
history
of
that
town
when
a
considerable
number
of
Jewish
servicemen
stationed
In
the
vicinity
gathered
to
perform
the
traditional
Jewish
Passover
ceremony
of
the
Seder.
The
Seder
is
a
religious
dinner
In
the
course
of
which
the
participants
narrate
the
story
of
the
exodus
ol
the
Jews
from
Egypt
with
the
aid
of
many
selections
from
the
liturgy
and
the
literature
of
the
Jews
In
regard
to
that
event
and
special
symbolism.
A
specially
baked
unleavened
flat
cake
which
Is
used
for
bread
throughout
the
eight
day
festival
Is
a
symbolic
reminder
of
the
hurry
with
which
the
Jews
left
Egypt
(Exodus
12:39).
A
brown
mixture
of
wine
and
crushed
nuts
Is
a
reminder
of
the
mortar
with
which
the
Jews
were
forced
to
build
great
structures
for
the
Egyptians.
Horse
radish
Is
symbolic
of'
the
bitterness
which
marred
the
lives
of
the
Jewish
people
In
their
enslavery.
The

gave
the
Jewish
men
In
the
Services

on

of
