Happy passover!

by Hannie

It’s time for the Jews to not eat anything that rises. All in the spirit of our Exodus from Egypt. The Jews apparently had no time to let their bread rise when they were escaping, so we commemorate that.

I find that Pesach (passover) is quite hypocritical though (in a very light hearted way, I don’t mean this seriously). Pesach is meant to be a celebration of how we were freed from slavery. And yet, all the Jewish mothers are forced to slave over their house, cleaning EVERYTHING to make sure there are no crumbs anywhere. It’s a very sore sight. Ah well. I love matzah bry :D

It’s beautiful, no? The funny thing about this picture (which is a picture of a starburst galaxy) is that that shape is usually made when two galaxies collide. However, this galaxy appears to be alone…spooky.
