I came across this Passover card amidst a Passover and Easter display at a coffee shop on the Upper East Side of Manhattan (that has a semi-Jewish name, so you’d think they could get it right!)
Look carefully. It’s a Passover seder plate, with all of the symbols of the holiday. Now, on the typical seder plate, you’d see the word Pesach in the middle–Passover. But on this not-so-seder-plate, the Hebrew letters in the middle are Shin, Bet, and Tav. Which don’t spell Pesach, but rather, Shabbat. Which is an entirely different holiday.
We figure it’s a perfect photo for today–the Shabbat of Passover. We hope you enjoy them both!
Can we ask?
It's important to us to keep the warm, joyfully Jewish community on Kveller accessible for all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you spare a few to keep Kveller free? (We'll love you forever.)
