Last night we attended a Seder meal which was wonderful. Friends from the building who are Jewish had most of their family and their cousin hosted the Seder. I have attended Seders before in our Lexington Church AND this one was very different. We had over 20 Haggadahs spread out on the table set for 22 people including a few very old ones from their grandparents.
During the Seder multiple times a participant would consult a different Haggadah to support a thought or a position. The back and forth among the participants, sometime in Hebrew and sometimes in English was so interesting. I had never heard the 4 different children described although I had heard the questions that the children ask. It also came up that Moses is never mentioned in a Haggadah and participants discussed why this might be. They were all very thoughtful and clearly think a lot about the Torah and Haggadas not just during Passover.
The food was amazing. We started at 5:30 with appetizers since the dinner would not be until 9:30. The company were so welcoming and I am fed spirituality especially having just come back from Israel.
I liked that no phones were allowed at the Seder so no images for this post.
