Talk:Passover

Origin
This section is giving credence to highly controversial atheistic and anti Semitic views. Suggest that since the article is on a Jewish festival commemorating God freeing the Israelites from Slavery out of Egypt, the origin section is removed or at least renamed “alternative origin theory”. If one needs to know the origin of the festival, one should start by reading the Haggadah first. Chag Samech. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.143.179.67 (talk) 00:07, 2021 April 5 (UTC)


 * Most of the articles I've found on the Pentateuch and Judaism content area are dominated by atheistic biblical minimalism misconstrued as "scholarly consensus", Wellhausen's discredited documentary hypothesis assumed as fact and stated in WikiVoice, and denials of jewish text and history that miscontrued as "Mainstream". Anti-semitism?  That is by accident. It is basic ignorance. antijudaism and more than that, a combination of atheism and nostalgic polytheism. As a consequence, it seems like Jewish editors have taking to writing in "Yinglish" and not translating. As of 2021, there is still no mention of the Haggadah in the lede. The passover wikilink didn't appear in the Exodus until I recently put it there. Its not enough to complain - Editors like you should add that.Jaredscribe (talk) 00:17, 7 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hard disagree with these comments, which seem to be upset that Wikipedia doesn't assume that every religion is 'true'. The origins section should definitely not be removed, but it would not be a problem to swap the order of it with the Biblical narrative section, so that the latter comes first.

Semi-protected edit request on 21 April 2024
There is a stray  in the second paragraph from the top.

Where it says: According to the Book of Exodus, God commanded Moses to tell the Israelites to mark a lamb's blood above their doors so that the Angel of Death would pass over them: they would not be touched by the tenth Plague of Egypt, the death of the firstborn).

Change the sentence to read: According to the Book of Exodus, God commanded Moses to tell the Israelites to mark a lamb's blood above their doors so that the Angel of Death would pass over them: they would not be touched by the tenth Plague of Egypt, the death of the firstborn. 73.37.211.177 (talk) 02:31, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Celebration in Israel vs. Diaspora
The article states that the story is recounted on the first 2 nights evenings of Passover, during the Passover meal.

First, the occasion for recounting the story is not referred to by anyone I know as THE passover meal, but as the seder, which is a ceremony that involves a meal by isn't THE Passover meal.

Second, either way, this occasion for recounting the story is done on the 1st day in Israel and on the 1st and 2nd days in the Diaspora (outside Israel). thecodester (talk) 10:03, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
