2,500 yo ANCIENT ARAMAIC PASSOVER GREETING

2,500 yo potsherd Passover Greeting

This 2,500-year-old potsherd contains one of the earliest known references to the Jewish festival of Passover.

The Aramaic note from Elephantine, Egypt, reads: “To Hoshaya. Greetings! Take care of the children until Ahutab gets there. Don’t trust anyone else with them! If the flour for your bread has been ground, make a small portion of dough to last until their mother gets there. Let me know when you will be celebrating Pascha (Passover). Tell me how the baby is doing!”⁠

Passover commemorates the liberation of the ancient Israelites from Egypt and is observed annually by Jewish people all over the world. This year, Passover begins at sundown on 12 April and ends the evening of 20 April.⁠

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS; Ocean Park-WA

When Holland was in Longview the other day, he stopped by U-Neek RV, and bought a front door lock: this morning, he replaced the old one 👍

I surface cleaned Independence's interior … and was pleased to see that the repurposed plastic container I had cleaned and dried was a perfect fit for the fancy camera Holland had bought for me ❤️😘

It had not come with a case:

Repurposed 'Camera Case'.

Now, I don't have to worry about it getting roughed up - or inadvertently broken 😁

We are both dealing with allergies 😕, so we didn't do much more than these things, today.
