The Jewish festival of Pesach (Passover) to the literal liberation of the Israelites from Egypt thousands of years to remember, but the message of Passover, as relevant today as ever by providing a message of self-liberation.
About 230 people in the North Ballroom of the Lory Student Center on Monday evening met for a traditional Seder meal, Rabbi of Chabad of Yerachmiel Gorelick, an Orthodox Jewish synagogue out.
As the room began to fill Gorelick, welcomed the company.
"We will all squeeze in," he said. "There is no such thing as a Passover dinner to share without the people."
Passover is one of the few Jewish holidays usually celebrated at home, instead of synagogues and the importance of sharing with family and friends was definitely a Monday night.
"It's all just get along with all my Jewish friends," said Tori Newman, junior high, and nutrition.
Judy Lauwereins, community member, the present with her daughter, Ashley Lauwereins CSU student, was her favorite holiday is Passover. This is getting because of the symbolism and traditions behind the celebrations and an opportunity for the whole family together.
Symbolism runs for Passover, but by Gorelick, a large part of the holiday for free from the psychological bondage of life. "
"We have ups and downs, but we must always try to angle upward," said Gorelick. "Once a year, Jews celebrate eight days of the personal freedom in 15 steps, and this tradition began before any kind of self-help books in the Barnes and Noble."
Seder literally means order and Seder dinners around the world to the same order and traditions to follow. Each part of the meal is a symbol of the struggles and triumphs of the Jewish people, symbolized by dipping an onion in salted water to tears of the ancient Jews, eating only matzo is unleavened bread - because Israel was no time have their bread to rise, as the Ancient Egypt fled.
Gorelick took even further the symbolism of matzo a step.
"Plain Matzo is the bread of humility," said Gorelick. "Arrogance is blown up: trying to reduce this passover your ego to make it easier, it's about the inner child and keep that innocence, remember when everything was gold .."
Dinner is also divided into four glasses of wine and drank the wine as tradition dictates that people sit back and left.
"We reject, if we for that which the kings were drinking," said Ashley Lauwereins. "We had nothing, and now we match."
Michael backlight, the social chairman of Chabad felt the message of Passover is as relevant as ever.
"The idea is to free yourself from your self-imposed closures," said light back.
Passover is the most famous holiday for Jews worldwide Gorelick said, both religious and secular Jews.
"There is something magical in itself," said Gorelick. "Liberated at the end of the 15 steps you feel - especially after using the toilet."
