Passover Story Time with the Zekenim
Passover commemorates YAHUAH’s deliverance of the Hebrew people from slavery in Mitzriam (Egypt) and our deliverance from the law of sin and death. It is a commandment from YAHUAH to keep this night as a memorial to Him. “… This day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to YAHUAH throughout all your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.” (Exodus 12:14).
During our first night together (Tuesday April 1, 2025), our Zekenim (Elders), will be telling the story of Passover and it's signficance to us today. In alignment with the scriptures. Exodus 13:8,10, “and thou shall show your son in that day, saying, ‘this is done because of that which YAHUAH did unto me when I came forth out of Mitzraim (Egypt). We shall therefore keep this ordinance in His season from year to year.” Our Zekeniim will share with the Mishpacha why if YAHUAH had not taken our ancestors out from Mitzraim (Egypt), we too would still be enslaved to the Pharaoh. Likewise, each one of us was in our own personal Mitzraim (Egypt): slaves to sin, when the Elohim our Yah, the Yah of Avraham (Abraham), Yitschaq (Isaac) and Ya’aqov (Jacob) brought us out of our sins with a strong hand and an outstretched arm in the person of our Savior, Yahusha HaMashiach .


Interactive Pesach Meal
This year's Great Awakening Passover Interactive Formal Meal 2025 promises to be like no other. We would like to invite you and your family to this memorable and commanded event on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 7:00 pm.
Passover commemorates YAHUAH’s deliverance of the Hebrew people from slavery in Mitzriam (Egypt) and our deliverance from the law of sin and death. It is a commandment from YAHUAH to keep this night as a memorial to Him. “… This day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to YAHUAH throughout all your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.” (Exodus 12:14)
In preparation for the celebration, it is customary to remove all leaven (chametz) from our homes (Exodus 12:15, 19). As a result, the removal of leaven signifies the attitude of penitence, the willingness to remove any corrupting influence in our life and submit to YAHUAH in obedience. As the Hebrews prepared for the exodus by obeying the commands of YAHUAH through Moses, so in removing the chametz, we symbolize our willingness to obey YAHUAH in preparation for celebrating the deliverance he has already brought to His people.
So as descendants, redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb, let us celebrate with great joy and eat our Passover Lamb.
“Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat [the lamb]. They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts. And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn. In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is YAHUAH’S Passover” (Exodus 12:7-11).
The Interactive Pesach Menu will include the main three commandment items.
- Lamb (3 oz portions standard) w/Chef Moreh Vaughn’s special sauce (Exodus 12:7)
- Horseradish, or another bitter herb (Exodus 12:8)
- Unleavened bread (Exodus 12:8)
The rest of the menu will include Green beans & mixed veggies, Sauté potatoes in olive oil and herbs / potatoes and onions, Light salad, Mixed fruits for dessert, and Grape juice. Alternative options: Grilled Chicken –Veggie burger patty (vegans/vegetarians will be identified through registration).

Presentation of the Males
Deuteronomy 6:16 Three times in a year all your males shall appear before YAHUAH your Elohim in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before YAHUAH empty-handed. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YAHUAH your Elohim which He has given you.
The law is repeated, that the men were to appear before YAHUAH three times a year at the three feasts. In fashion with the Scriptures, we ask all men and boys i.e. uncles, fathers, sons, nephews, and grandfathers to present their household of males before Yahuah in the presence of the set-apart women and other attendees. During the presentation program, each household of men is expected to:
- Have color and attire coordination representing each household.
- Greet the Body of Assembly with a creative greeting.
- Read a Torah Passage that best represents their family.
- Offer a free will gift that can be used for the entire GAI Community.
Not Empty-Handed?
Ancient Israel, being an agrarian society, primarily used agricultural products for their offerings: "'When any one of you brings an offering to YAHUAH, you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock'" (Leviticus 1:2). Although Feastgoers could exchange their Festival tithes from farm products to money (Deuteronomy 14:25), they also brought sacrificial offerings to YAHUAH, some of which were enjoyed during festival meals.
We are not suggesting to equate modern customs with ancient practices and customs. Today, offerings are understood in monetary terms. But we should not envisage in Deuteronomy 16 a modern setting of offering baskets being passed around the congregation during services for the collection of monetary offerings. Israelites would have brought their animal offerings to be given to the priests at these times.
We ask that all households of males come before the Body of Assembly during Passover/Unleavened Bread 2025 with something meaningful that would be beneficial to the Mishpacha, whether day be monetary, food items, electronic devices, instruments, etc.


Exodus Dance & Tribal Drum Night
During the Pesach Meal we encourage all families to join us in the ‘Exodus Dance’ to memorialize how our Ancestors Danced out of Egypt (Exodus 15:20-21)
Ish take hold of your Isha, take your children and your Achot and Achim. Bring your DRUMS, BONGOS,
CONJAS, DJEMBAS, and tambourine, your organic dance, the shofar, and rams horn! Let us bring forth an Exodus Praise! Let us Celebrate our freedom in a dance before Yah! Let the Royal House dance out of bondage and into Covenant with Aba Yah! Bring forth an Exodus Praise!!
The Exodus Dance is a time where we divide the room into two groups (depicting the dividing of the Red Sea); as festive live music is played, the beating of the drums, and playing of the tambourines, and the beating of the drums, we encourage all individual families to part the middle of the two groups with dancing, commentating coming out of bondage (Egypt) into the freedom (Promise Land). Let’s memorialize the ancient Passover Event by Praising and Dancing our way out of Bondage.
“Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, while all the women went out after her with tambourines, dancing; and she responded to them: Sing to Yahuah, for he is gloriously triumphant; horse and chariot he has cast into the sea” - Exodus 15:20-21
