Week-long Jewish Holiday Of Passover Begins Tonight
The week-long Jewish holiday of Passover begins this evening, April 5. During the holiday, Jews eat matzah instead of bread, and eschew eating leavened food products of any kind.

Shown here, Joel Kress purchases all leavened food with a down payment of $1 from Rabbi Jack Shlachter; the rabbi is serving as the agent for several Jewish community members in town. The sale of these items took place with a written Read More

Fr. Glenn: Finished, And Unfinished
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Christianity was until fairly recently believed and practiced by the majority of our nation, even if not the world. And yet recent news stories report that much of that faith has been lost in the current existential and rationalist culture, which does not deign to explore (and even DIS-dains) that which is beyond its empirical probing, refusing to admit that there may be existence that transcends our materiality. It’s a bit of a danger, really, and to paraphrase G.K. Chesterton, when people believe in nothing, they may believe in anything.
Now, the bulk of the Christian world Read More
