Subject: RE: BS: Have a Happy Passover!
k/k,

Have you ever been to a Seder? Many kinds... and non-Jews are usually welcomed BIGTIME.

Non-Jews in fact have been known to hold Seders. If you can find someone to show you the ropes, you could have one at your own house. Since Passover is several nights, you can ask someone to come over to make Seder with you and not make them miss their own... Some churches do or have done them. It's been so long since I went to one I cannot recall enough to get you started, ort we could have online Seder. maybe someone else can help more than I. HearMe Seder anyone????

A large part of what occurs is the telling of the Big Story, so the thing kinda makes itself happen, if you have the booklet (Haggadah, is that the right word?) with the story. Mudcatters, have you one to post for kat?

The best one I atended was given by a young Jewish woman (a college girl) who had grown up secular and now wanted to reclaim roots. It was a Seder picnic on the floor of her apartment, all of us reclining. Very Biblical!

Even if your community's Jewish population is next to nil, it is entirely possible that you can find a way to do this, this year.

Go for it!
