It is impossible to fully describe how the Yom Tov of Pesach was celebrated in the "Bayit Lepletot" Home.
really felt what the words a Pesach Yom Tov at home meant….the home was felt in full sense! The girls experienced the Bedikas Chometz and burning it the next morning, the Seder night and all the Chol Hamoed meals. As all other homes in Eretz Yisroel they were all “Oleh Leregel” and made the Bracha on the flourishing of the trees.
The atmosphere of the Seder night was one that could have brought Moshiach! Try to imagine these orphaned and distraught girls, who are alone in the world, without a father or a mother, sitting around the elegantly set tables, beautifully dressed in their new clothing that were purchased for them in honor of Yom Tov. They participated in the entire Seder, asking the ma nishtana, eating the Matzo and drinking the 4 kosos….and on their faces was a look of excitement that was from another world! Their tears rolled freely when Rabbi Rosenfeld called out “Kadesh” “Urchatz” etc.

Their excitement reached a peak when the door was opened to great Eliyahu Hanovi, the girls all rushed towards the door and with tears streaming down their cheeks they davened for their own personal redemption and beseeched that “this year we are here, may we be free next
year”.
