Hebrew New Year

1. Select the Lamb
    
   • On the 10th day of Nisan, choose a year-old, unblemished male lamb or goat per household.
      

1. Slaughter and Prepare:
    
   • On the 14th day at twilight, slaughter the lamb.
      
   • Put its blood on the doorposts and lintel.
      
   • Roast the lamb whole over a fire.
      

1. Eat the Meal:
    
   • Eat the roasted lamb that night with matzah and maror.
      
   • Eat in haste, with loins girded, sandals on, and staff in hand.
      
   • Do not break the lamb’s bones.
      
   • Consume it in one house; do not carry meat out or leave any until morning. Burn leftovers.
      

1. Remove Leaven:
    
   • Remove all leaven from your home.
      
   • Eat unleavened bread for seven days, from the evening of the 14th to the 21st.
      

1. Tell the Story:
    
   • Tell your children the meal commemorates YAHUAH’s deliverance from Egypt.
      

1. Observe the Festival:
    
   • Hold a sacred assembly on the first and seventh days of Unleavened Bread, doing no work except preparing food.
      
   • Offer the Passover sacrifice at the place YAHUAH chooses, then return home.
      

What to Wear

• Wear a belted tunic, sandals, and carry a staff.
  
   

Ingredients 

• 2 cups all-purpose flour 

• 1 cup cold water + more if necessary 

• 4 tbsp olive oil 

• ½ tsp salt 

Instructions 

1. In a large bowl, combine the salt and flour. 

2. Add the water and mix with a fork until the flour is wet. If it doesn’t come together, add small splashes of water until everything begins to bind. Stir in the oil. 

3. Place the dough ball onto the working surface, previously floured. Knead for about five minutes until it becomes elastic and silky. You are just making a dough ball. 

4. Divide the dough into 6-7 pieces that have the size of a larger golf ball.   

5. Flour again the work surface. Grab a rolling pin and roll out the dough. Roll, spin the dough and then roll  again. Repeat until you get a ¼ inch thick piece of dough.

6. Place a slightly greased non-stick pan. (I use a cast iron pan) over medium heat and wait until it’s hot. 

7. Take one piece of dough and put it in the pan. Flip it over after 30 seconds. This way you will get an evenly  toasted bread on both sides. After 30 seconds, flip it over again. You will notice that little air pockets will begin to appear in the bread. Now you can flip it over the third time. The bread seems puffed up now, it is time to press gently so the interior of the matstsah is cooked too. It should take about 3-4 minutes in total  to cook one flatbread. 

8. Repeat for the remaining dough balls. 

9. Keep the bread stacked and warm between the layers of a clean cloth. (Paper towels are fine) 

10. Enjoy! Happy Passover!
