he Passover Blog
By Ami Eden and
Edmon J.Rodman
NEW YORK (JTA) — The fol-
lowing round-up is adapted from
JTA's Passover blog, blogs.jta.org/
passover:
Helping interfaith families
navigate Passover
The Jewish Outreach Institute
has launched a "Preparing for
Passover" blog. The catch: It fea-
tures women from other religious
backgrounds who are raising Jew-
ish children.
One contributor identified as
Elizabeth took to the blog to re-
call her spring situation from last
year:
"My parents live 800 miles
away, and wanted to come spend
Easter with the kids. We don't cel-
ebrate it, but anytime they want to
come and [in] whatever context,
that's fine. The problem — they
were scheduled to arrive at 4 on
the afternoon of the seder, while I
would be making my four dishes
for the dinner, getting dressed up
and dressing the kids, stowing
the spare chairs and tables in the
car, getting our ritual objects out
of the attic, rehearsing the Four
Questions with my youngest. But
really, it wasn't the logistics that
bothered me. It was whether to
invite them. Invite them to an
event that would be held half in
Hebrew, three hours long, after
two days of driving, with people
they don't know and rituals that
they had their own Christian in-
terpretations for? I didn't really
want to spend my seder being the
explainer, holding everyone and
everything together and feeling all
of that stress myself....
" [Eventually] I sucked it up, de -
cided I could handle this and in-
vited them. But they didn't come
— it was Holy Week and they
wouldn't miss going to church that
night. Duh. Another interfaith re-
ligious dilemma solved itself here
in my little corner of the tent."
If anyone out there is facing a
similar situation this year, Levi
Gibian Fishman of the Jewish
Outreach Institute has put to-
gether a list of tips for conduct-
ing an "inclusive interfaith seder."
One of his suggestions: Honor the
newcomer.
"Go further than merely ac-
knowledging the newcomers sit-
ting around your seder table," he
wrote. "Let them know their pres-
ence is truly a blessing. By choos-
ing to partake, the newcomers are
aligning themselves with the Jew-
ish community and casting their
lot with the Jewish people. Vocal-
ize your appreciation during the
seder by expressing how thankful
we are for their participation."
Twittering the plagues
Stephanie Simon and Ann Zim-
merman of the Wall Street Journal
reported on Temple Emanu-El's
Rabbi Oren Hayon's innovative
initiative: Passover Twittering.
"Building on a growing move-
ment to add a bit of fun to the
plagues and pestilence, he has
recruited a handful of fellow rab -
bis to act out the Passover story in
140-character Twitter messages,
accessible at twitter.com/tweet-
theexodus.
"The drama began [March 16]
with a link to a trailer for the 1956
film 'The Ten Commandments'
followed by @Tbe_Israelites com-
plaining: 'We have much to fear
from ©PharaohofEgypt. He tires
of us....' The improvised dialog
will continue for two weeks."
Matzah balls and strikes
Matzah balls won't be the only
spheres being served up on Pass-
over — the Major League Baseball
season opener is on April 4: Mari-
ners vs. Giants and Yankees vs.
Orioles. But what to eat if you're
going to the game? A hot dog on
matzah? There's a great children's
book (ages 5-9) on just this theme,
"Matzah Ball: A Passover Story,"
by Mindy Avra Portnoy and Kath-
erine Janus Kahn.
Hillary plays Exodus card
U.S. Secretary of State Hil-
lary Rodham Clinton ended her
speech at the AIPAC conference
with a Passover flourish.
"We are entering the season of
Passover. The story of Moses reso-
nates for people of all faiths, and
it teaches us many lessons, includ-
ing that we must take risks, even a
leap of faith, to reach the Promised
Land. When Moses urged the Jews
to follow him out of Egypt, many
objected. They said it was too dan-
gerous, too hard, too risky. And
later, in the desert, some thought
it would be better to return to
Egypt. It was too dangerous, too
hard, too risky. In fact, I think they
formed a back-to-Egypt commit-
tee and tried to stir up support for
that. And when they came to the
very edge of the Promised Land,
there were still some who refused
to enter because it was too dan-
gerous, too hard, and too risky.
But Israel's history is the story of
brave men and women who took
risks. They did the hard thing
because they believed and knew
it was right. We know that this
dream was championed by Herzl
and others [though] many said
[it] was impossible. And then the
pioneers — can you imagine the
conversation, telling your mother
and father, 'I'm going to go to the
desert and make it bloom'? And
people thinking, how could that
ever happen? But it did."
