It's this springtime weather that makes me so glad we ended up in Austin. It reminds me of that spring we Israelites left Egypt. To remember how teary I was, and how sad it is that some slaves aren't free today, it's time to dip parsley in salt water.
Remember parsley is just one of many bitter options. The Chabad website shows an onion.Here's a prayer I like to say while I'm dipping:
טוֹבְלִין כַּרְפַּס פָּחוֹת מִכְזַיִת בְּמֵי מֶלַח, וּמְבָרְכִין. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה.
( . . . boray pri ha'adamah)
Wikipedia says that some have explained the dipping of the Karpas to symbolize Josef's tunic being dipped into blood by his brothers. This is news to me. Of course, anybody can say anything on Wikipedia.
The Chabad Passover website shares some delightful anagramology and numerology: "The Hebrew letters of karpas can be arranged to spell 'Perach Samech'. Perach means backbreaking work and Samech is numerically equivalent to 60, referring to the 60 myriads (10,000), equaling 600,000, which was the number of Jewish males over 20 years of age who were enslaved in Egypt." http://www.chabad.org/holidays/passover/pesach.asp?AID=2003
Didn't someone just make a movie with that numerology concept?
Anagrams are easier in Hebrew, where you're not limited to specific vowels. The English rendering "karpas" can be rearranged to spell parkas, which stands for the cold nights in the desert; 0r "a spark" to stand for the brilliant idea to hot foot it out of Egypt; or "ark spa" to remind us of the nice thing God did for our ancestor Noah; or, along those lines "ark asp" to remind us that God loves all creatures, even snakes; or "ark's pa," which just reminds us of Noah himself (unless God h'self was the father of the ark). Finally there is the musical anagram "rap ska" I'll leave it to Marc to decode that one.
Speaking of anagrams, maybe someone will have some insight into the significance of "real spy" as an anagram for "parsley." Thanks to http://wordsmith.org/anagram/ for the anagrams.
Geography Note: There are lovely beaches on the Karpas peninsula in Cyprus:
I discovered that by searching for "Karpas" on Google images. There are also a lot of people with the last name "Karpas."
Passover Contest: See what words you can find using the letters in "passover." The person who finds the words with the most letters wins. "Overpass" doesn't count.
