The Jewish calendar is essentially composed of three units that depend on a heavenly body for proper calculation. The month is dependent upon cycles of the moon, and the day and the year are dependent upon cycles of the sun. For the purposes of our discussion, we will focus on the "month" and the "year." ( The following discussion is oversimplified for clarity's sake.)   The Jewish nation was instructed to bless and sanctify each new month. The month is the period of time it takes for the moon to complete a revolution around the earth. On the average, this takes 29.5 days. As we only have complete days in a month, some months contain 29 days, and other contain 30.

Beitzah The Roasted Egg is symbolic of the festival sacrifice made in biblical times. On Passover, an additional sacrifice (the Paschal lamb) was offered as well. The egg is also a traditional symbol of mourning, and has been interpreted by some as a symbolic mourning for the loss of the Temple. Since the destruction of the Temple in the year 70 C.E., neither the festival sacrifice nor the special passover sacrifice could be offered. It is also a symbol of spring - the season in which Passover is always celebrated. In many households, it is customary to use a brown egg on the seder plate. The egg should be baked or roasted if possible.   Elijah Cup

The Mexican Jewish community is known to be close-knit, with a mixture of Ashkenazic and Syrian Jews.  Many of the children attend Jewish day school, where both Hebrew and Yiddish are taught.  This similar to a vegetarian Mexican tortilla soup.  It would be good with a side of Spice-of-Life Chips.
