Next
week marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War. I
hope to have a series of posts about it then, but here's one that links
that event with Pesach:
150 years ago tomorrow (on the Jewish calendar), Philadelphian Myer Levy, a Union Army corporal, was walking through a captured Virginia town, thinking he had no place- and nothing, really- to eat for Passover when he saw a boy sitting on the steps to a house eating something that looked familiar.
He went up to him: "Hello, young man! May I have a piece of that matzah?"
The boy ran into the house shouting, "Mother! There's a damn Yankee Jew outside!" The mother came out and politely invited Levy to join them for the seder.
