April Fools’ Day – April 1, 2020
Traditionally, April Fool's Day is an opportunity to play jokes or tricks on one another. The stranger and the more absurd the trick the better. The challenge is to carry out a trick that is believable, if only for a little while. Tricks are most successful if played earlier in the day before a person is wise to what is going on.
Any tricks or jokes must be harmless and in good taste for the unsuspecting "victim". And, we suggest you think twice before pulling one on the boss, even if he or she is known to have a good sense of humor.
Passover – April 8, 2020
Passover begins at Sundown on April 8, 2020, this year.
It is the celebration of the freeing of the Jews from Egyptian rule around 3000 years ago. At the time, the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians’ ruler Pharaoh Ramses II. God instructed Moses to go to Pharaoh and ask for freedom for the Jews. His plea of "Let my people go" was ignored despite Moses' warning of punishments by God if the Israelites were not freed.
God then sent 10 terrible plagues upon the people of Egypt. The Pharaoh then freed the Jews who immediately fled Egypt.
Moses led them through the wilderness and he even, with God’s help, parted the sea so that the Israelites could pass through it to dry land.
