Pesach is over and we all had a good time.  The Hebrew school had so much fun with their celebration. The Thursday before Pesach, the children observed their own “Model Seder” lead by Rabbi Gil Alchadeff. They started the Seder as all Seders do by reading the order of the the Haggadah. Their table was filled with the traditional Seder items, bitter herbs, maror, haroset, greens, roasted egg, and a roasted bone.  The children are all learning so much about all the holidays and this holiday was no exception. They all eagerly raised their hands to answer the Rabbi’s questions.  They all ate the bitter herbs dipped in the salty water without to much wincing. The boys especially liked the horseradish root.  But what would a Seder be without the singing of the 4 questions by the youngest.  In this case, all the children sang Mah Nishtanah.  It was truly a wonderful day.  After the Seder they enjoyed Kosher for passover snacks and macaroons.  The children have done a great job this year with their new teacher Sam Greene Feldman and we are looking forward to their performance to end the school year on June 1st.

Temple Sholom’s Second Seder -What a wonderful evening we had at the second Seder.  The new caterer was really fantastic.  The water was very salty, the eggs were roasted and the shank bone was presented as well as the greens, bitter herbs, maror and haroset.  It was really a superb evening.  We all read from the Haggadah, enjoyed the four cups of wine and topped it off with a resounding rendition of “Next year in Jerusalem.  It really had the feeling of a second family Seder.  Thanks to all who organized it and to Rabbi Gil Alchadeff for another wonderful Seder.
