Sheviih shel Pesach + Achrei Mot - 2022

Chevre, this Friday is שביעי של פסח (Shevi’ih shel Pesach) followed immediately by אַחֲרֵי מוֹת (Achrei Mot). So the last day of Pesach is a holiday, we don’t do work like Shabbat, except on holidays we are allowed to cook (with specific restrictions). The last day of Pesach commemorates the splitting of the Sea of Suf (the Red Sea) during the Exodus story. What is interesting to me is that outside the Egyptians were being drowned, but inside the Jews were walking on dry land with the sea all around them.
