According to Rabbinic calculation the duration of the Israelites` stay in Egypt was 210 years. The fateful events which took place during the last days of this long and harassing period of slavery are vividly described in the early chapters of the Book of Exodus. It was shortly before the day on which the last of the ten plagues was to befall the Egyptians that instructions were issued to prepare for the Passover.

| Opening: |
More than two thousand years ago, there lived a powerful but wicked king of syria whose name was Antiochus. Antiochus ruled an enormous empire of many different lands. One of these countries was the entire land of Israel. There is a saying that "the ways of the wicked are like deep darkness," and this was certainly true of Antiochus, for he was so mean and cruel that he made it a very dark time, a scary time, and a sad time for everyone who lived in his kingdom.

| Opening: |
Of the various names by which the New Year holiday is referred to in the Bible, the term Rosh Hashanah is the one most seldom used. In fact it is found only once (Ezekiel 40:1) and even there it is doubtful whether the reference is to the holiday celebrated on the first day of Tishri.

As the new year begins we think about very serious things. We feel that God judges us at this time.We look back to the past year and think, `Have I been a good person as I could have been?` We ask ourselves, `How can I be a better person in the year that is coming?` |
