User blog:Argali1/The end of Passover

Today is one of celebration. Today is the day that Passover ends. I am sure that at least one of you knows the story of the Jews leaving Egypt and bondage and all of that. Well that is what Passover is. It is a celebratory event, but, there is a down side to it. It is said that when the Jews left Egypt, they would make bread to stay alive. With the Egyptian army hot on there tail though, they could not stop for more than eighteen minutes to let the bread rise, thus you get matza bread, the most pathetic sickening excuse for bread this world will ever have the misfortune of knowing. To honor our ancestors, we Jews eat only matza and other unleavened baked items (as a replacement to regular bread). You might be thinking, "Oh, not being able to eat leavened baked goods for eight days, that doesn't sound so terrible". If you are thinking that, you have no idea. For eight days, no bread, no cake, no muffins, NOTHING LEAVENED! Every year when Passover starts, I am so excited (with the exception of Yom Kipur, holidays are always exciting), but, within the period of twenty four hours, the my soul has turned into matza, thin and miserably hard! The fact that Passover is finally over, after eight days of suffering makes me more happy than you can possibly imagine and I am planing on breaking the passover again (last night my mom made challah and I felt alive again) by go to the Korean bakery down the street and gaining about five pounds (hopefully that is not true). Well that was my rant, happy end of holidays and please, eat as much cake and bread as possible.
