Origin

[edit ]

This section is giving credence to highly controversial atheistic and anti Semitic views. Suggest that since the article is on a Jewish festival commemorating God freeing the Israelites from Slavery out of Egypt, the origin section is removed or at least renamed "alternative origin theory". If one needs to know the origin of the festival, one should start by reading the Haggadah first. Chag Samech. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.143.179.67 (talk) 00:07, 2021 April 5 (UTC)

Most of the articles I've found on the Pentateuch and Judaism content area are dominated by atheistic biblical minimalism misconstrued as "scholarly consensus", Wellhausen's discredited documentary hypothesis assumed as fact and stated in WikiVoice, and denials of jewish text and history that miscontrued as "Mainstream". Anti-semitism? That is by accident. It is basic ignorance. antijudaism and more than that, a combination of atheism and nostalgic polytheism. As a consequence, it seems like Jewish editors have taking to writing in "Yinglish" and not translating. As of 2021, there is still no mention of the Haggadah in the lede. The passover wikilink didn't appear in the Exodus until I recently put it there. Its not enough to complain - Editors like you should add that.Jaredscribe (talk) 00:17, 7 April 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
Hard disagree with these comments, which seem to be upset that Wikipedia doesn't assume that every religion is 'true'. The origins section should definitely not be removed, but it would not be a problem to swap the order of it with the Biblical narrative section, so that the latter comes first.

Historical accuracy?

[edit ]

Surely something should be mentioned about what modern scholars have found regarding the historical accuracy of the Passover story as typically recounted in Haggadahs.

For your consideration for inclusion
