A few high points from our Seder last night:1.My dad made a big production of hiding the matzah for the Afikomen. The next thing you do is uncover the matzah on the table and say a blessing over it... so when Dad reached over and uncovered it, Danny yelled "I found it!" 2. Jacob read the Four Questions. In English. Having never seen them before. *choke* My mom loved that he could read the word "vegetable" but he won't eat one.
3. Danny was pretty cranky and kept asking for pizza, and then bagels with cream cheese. I spread some cream cheese on matzah and put it on his plate. DH called for Danny to come into the dining room from the living room where he was watching Blues Clues. "I want it here," Danny yelled. "Danny, you have to eat at the table," said DH. "I AM at the table," he responded. (He was sitting at the coffee table.) I looked at DH and said "he got ya there." |

I am impressed when someone is serious enough about his/her faith to incorporate in in daily life and observed rituals. This is one aspect of my brand of Protestantism that could be improved. We have very few rituals or religious observances. I agree that ritual can interfere with true connection with God. But, it does not have to do so. And I understand that the free style of worship and focus upon individual relationship with God is a reaction to the sterile religious scene of Christianity for many centuries. Still, there are things to learn and benefits from ritual. Thanks for an interesting post.

Oh, trust me, I am nobody's example of an observant Jew! It's interesting to see how much or little I relate to things as I age, especially since I went through a period of time where I didn't think intermarriage would affect me. I feel like I'm a spiritual Jew though not an observant one.

I'm not Jewish, but I've been blessed to attend three passovers with the same family in the last four years. By the last one I was getting into the swing of things. It's a wonderful thing.

Not Jewish either, but have attended a passover meal with friends. Truely enjoyed the experience.

You should contact Light of the Messiah in Atlanta, GA. They came to my state and did a Messianic Passover Service that was open to anyone. It was awsome. I've wanted to attend another eversince.
