Thanks Aunt Liz, Uncle Mike, Tomer, Etai, and Willow for including us Christians (me, mom, and Grandma) in the beautiful family tradition known as the Passover seder. I had so much fun! I didn't get to drink the wine or eat the matzo ball soup, but I got to hear songs, poetry, history, storytelling, and watch my family celebrate life. I think it's a pretty cool religion that devotes a whole meal to remembering those who have suffered. This is part of the seder opening prayer: "May the problem of all who are downtrodden be our problem; may the concern of all who are afflicted be our concern; may the struggle of all who strive for liberty and equality be our struggle."What a beautiful night. Thank you so much for including me and my mom in this. It means more to her than anything, and I feel lucky to have been a part of it. Next year I'm finding the matzo!
