Seder!
Last
night our church held our annual Seder. I don't know how
"authentic" it is. We are Presbyterians, after all. But it
is a much-loved tradition (even if it's not on the correct date).
We learn some Jewish traditions - sampling the bitter herb
(horseradish) which symbolizes slavery, the parsley dipped in
salt water to symbolize tears. We study some Scripture, pray, feast,
and have a lot of fun. One family roasts a lamb for us. There are
many vegetable dishes. Incredible rice. And who would have
thought that a luscious dessert can be made with matzoh?
Oh, and we sing! There's a song that includes pounding on the table. The kids can't wait for that one!
As
we were leaving and saying our goodnights - after turning the "feasting
hall" back into the sanctuary (our church is small) - the Pastor said
"It's later than you think!" No kidding. We got the kids
into bed right away and then started changing the clocks.
I don't think we're going to make it to Sunday School today!
