Why does the Church pass over Passover?

There were two main rabbis, Rabbi Shammai and Rabbi Hillel

So this guy first went to Rabbi Shammai and asked him to teach him the entire story standing on one foot. Rabbi Shammai chased him out thinking he was just mocking him.

The same dude went to Rabbi Hillel and asked the same question, and gave him his famous answer that we are discussing.

Yes, that was presented in my 'Baptism is just symbolic' thread, hence why I brought it up here.

We are discussing here Judaism, not Christianity.

You want the actual meaning of it or some Christian reinterpretation?

The what?


Context, in the other thread it was presented in what I thought was a literal fashion, that's why I brought it up in the first place.

I already 'got' the meaning from it as far as i'm concerned.

The story happened literally.

Rabbi Hillel was making a point. He didn't literally mean that everything other than what he said was just commentary.

You will be assimilated; it is His Will.
I'm with CMike. Hillel was explaining the principle that was the basis of the Torah and its commandments. The principle that the other Laws are derived from.

Compassion doesn't explain why I need to sit in a wooden hut on the Festival of Booths.

Do you? If so, why? And why did they? Were they wood?
 
Jesus' 'Bone-Day' was the day "The-Whole-Day" of the passover --- Jesus' day-of-BURIAL.

'Etsem Yom' of the Passover-of-Yahweh.

'Etsem' -- "bone" is metaphor for 'substance', 'wholeness', 'binding' / 'unity' / 'firmness' / 'UNBROKEN'!

"No bone of His shall be broken / severed / moved'.

"The LORD was before my face always that I shall not be moved."

Bone does not decompose. "His flesh should not see corruption in death."

Admittedly, I'm still an inquirer into Orthodoxy myself, and have only experienced four Paschal celebrations according to the Byzantine (i.e. Eastern Orthodox) tradition--two with the Byzantine Catholics, two with the Orthodox. And I know next to nothing about Jewish Passover celebrations as they're celebrated today. Maybe you could give a list of some Jewish Passover concepts/traditions.
I know of some Roman Catholics who will celebrate a Seder meal on Holy Thursday as a reminder of our relationship with the Jews....with lamb, matzoh, and bitter herbs. There are other Roman Catholics who think this practice is an insult to the Jews (I'm not sure of their particular reasons.)
