Parshat Bo - A Passover Rerun

Chag sameach! Which means "happy holiday" - indeed, it is a happy holiday! Passover, the festival of matza - starts Wednesday night, April 8.
There's not a new Hasidic Strip episode this week. In fact, we're showing reruns! Why is that, you ask? A wise child you are.
We don't always read the next chapter in the Torah each week. For special occasions, we turn in the Torah to stories that match up with the holiday. For Passover - aka Pesach in Hebrew - we read lots of little excerpts that have to do with the Pesach offering, unleavened bread and so on. In the same way that a clips show builds up excitement for the next episode of your favorite TV series, these holiday selections are a time-out from the calendar of Torah stories we tell on "regular" weeks, and give us exciting new ways to put the pieces together.
The special readings for Passover include a bunch of Hasidic Strip episodes - some of which we haven't even made yet! Watch them again...and come back next week for our next "regular" episode - Shemini.
