Hey Guys....i found out an article on why Jewish people buy pillows for the night of Passover:
"Amongst the various parts of the Passover Seder that stand out in most people's memories is the four cups of wine and of course the matzo. But most people may not be aware of another important part of the Seder and that is the 'leaning'.
In olden times (meaning in the times of the Talmud and before) the wealthy and noble class would recline while they ate, whereas simple poor people would eat while seated on the floor. Reclining is indicative of a person of leisure who has time to dine with out worrying an interruption that would cause him to get up. The importance of leaning at the Seder is explained that since we were slaves in Egypt and now we are free men, therefore we must act in accordance to our new status. Since it was the custom of noble men to eat while reclining on a sofa or on cushions, so today we are obligated to eat as noble men who recline.
According to Jewish tradition, the man of the house is required to recline while he drinks the four cups and eats the matzo. A son also is required to lean like the father. Whether the woman is to lean is dependent if she is considered important. If she is important, then she must lean too. Many say that our women are important; therefore she should lean while eating."
This is why of the pillows......to feel like kings!! Freeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
