Hello all,

Welcome to SShore Fan's CelticBlog Word or Acronym of the Week. 

It is the goal of this thread to each week introduce you all to a new word or Acronym that relates generally to basketball & the Celtics and in some cases specifically to CelticsBlog. 

Each word or acronym will be properly defined and used in a sentence. 

Happy Learning,

Professor SSfan

  • Yup
Fans of the Seder will know of the "Brickalicious" quality of Charoset  :D

Charoset

Apple, nuts, and spices ground together and mixed with wine are symbolic of the mortar used by Hebrew slaves to build Egyptian structures. There are several variations in the recipe for charoset. The Mishna describes a mixture of fruits, nuts, and vinegar, for example. In order to enhance the symbolism of mortar, it is customary in some communities to mix in a small amount of sand. The charoset is sweet because sweetness is symbolic of God's kindness, which was able to make even slavery more bearable. According to legend, the use of apples in charoset stems from Pharaoh's decree that all male Hebrew children were to be killed at birth. Mothers would go out to the orchards to give birth, and thus save their babies (at least temporarily) from the Egyptian soldiers.
Yup

After checking the CelticBlog Thesaurus, I can say yes, they are all quite similar.
