Pendulum, etc.

[Mankovsky, Sheine]

Phil, I hope you enjoyed the Seder you attended:)  It occurred to me that
there may be members of this Squeak community who don't have any context for
the word "seder".  Two sites that looked promising for those who may be
interested in some general information are http://www.holidays.net/passover/
and  http://learn.jtsa.edu/passover/.   I chose these somewhat arbitrarily.
Another site, www.passover.net offers information in Spanish, Italian and
French, in addition to English.  It is sponsored by Chabad Lubavitch and is
Orthodox in its orientation.
