Well, we’re off and running. Passover is 3 weeks from Wednesday and this past Saturday night the three moms got together like last year to plan out the Seders. Marsha went over the Lisa’s house at about 9:30 or so after the kids were in bed, and she did not come home until about 4:30 am! Don’t worry; they did not spend the entire time planning Passover, just shooting the breeze.
Our core group for the two Seders is the same as last year. We are five plus my in-laws make seven. One of the other families is five and the other six, so that brings our core group to 18. Then there are the extras. First night will be my parents and sister, so we will be at least at 21. Second night is still open. We are checking with friends to see who does not have a place for Seder. Last year we were at 26 for the first night, so who knows, we might just make it up there again.
For the past ten years or so, I have been working on a commentary on the Hagaddah. I have written more pages this year and I will continue to write some between now and Passover. As I did last year, I will post some pages at Passover.wordpress.com. I really would love feedback. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
And for those of my friends from USY who remember Rabbi Paul and his wife Nina, here is something you might enjoy!
