Karpas: Green Vegetable
The role of karpas is most commonly played by celery or parsley, the leafy green
vegetable yet another symbol of spring's renewal. Oded Schwartz, author of "In
Search of Plenty: A History of Jewish Food" (Kyle Cathie, 1992) and a native
Israeli, noted that "karpas" is the modern Hebrew word for celery. In karpas we
can also discern the legacy of the symposium, the formal Greco-Roman
meal/discussion on which the seder is, in part, based. "'Karpas' is a Greek word
for green vegetable," said Segal, "and it would have been a standard Roman hors
d'ouevre."

KATHAK
Under the classical dances in India KATHAK is the most ancient and
popular stile of dance. In ancient times Kathak was a kind of telling
storys. Storyteller, so called "KATHAKAR" have been wandering from
place to place in the whole of India and told the stories about the
greatness of gods. In addidtion of course it was also a spiritual discipline.
In the later centuries this stile of dance get a classical character by
adopting the guidelines which are inherent in the Natayasastra, the
authentic textbook of classical indian dance. Kathak does not only focus
on the technical aspect (Nritt) of classical cance. It also gives to the
dancer a big scope of freedom for improvisation. This fusion together
with the unbelievable richness of beautiful expressions of hands, feets
and the whole body makes Kathak so unic under the classical dances. To
dance is a spiritual way of liberation of the human soul and a prayer to
god. The systematic and rhythmic language of the body enables the
dancer to express rhythm direct over the whole body in an intensiv,
conscious and most beautiful way. It might give him the experience of
being a conscious part of the ever evolving creation which experiences
the dance as a lively, creative and basic prinziple of life
Kathenotheism is a term coined by the philologist Max Müller to mean the worship of one god
at a time. It is closely related to henotheism and polytheism. Müller originally coined the term in
reference to the Vedas; he argued there are different supreme gods at different times.
Kathenotheism is sometimes distinguished as follows: a henotheist worships only one God during
their whole life (assuming they do not undergo a conversion); while they accept that other Gods
exist they do not worship them. A kathenotheist worships one God at a time, depending on their
locality or the time.
