The sages say: in Judea they would work on the eve of Passover until noon, whereas in the Galilee they did not work at all.

-Talmud Pesachim 4.6.1

  • Reasons the Last Supper is not a Passover Meal
  • And all the children of Israel will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and seasons, and sabbaths and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years. For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto thee, and it is not of my own devising; for the book (lies) written before me, and on the heavenly tablets the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after their ignorance. For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of the moon -how (it) disturbs the seasons and comes in from year to year ten days too soon. For this reason the years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and sabbaths and feasts and jubilees. For this reason I command and testify to thee that thou mayst testify to them; for after thy death thy children will disturb (them), so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the new moons and seasons and sabbaths and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.

  • The righteous will sit with their crowns on their heads and enjoy the radiance of the Shechinah in the World to Come.
  • But don’t forget this one thing, loved ones—that with Yahweh one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. Yahweh is not slow in keeping His promise, as some consider slowness. Rather, He is patient toward you—not wanting anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance. But the Day of Yahweh will come like a thief. On that day, the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will melt in fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be exposed.
