Tradition, Tradition
Some Jews eat rice on Pesach, and
some don't.
Your mother-in-law insists on egg
soup as an appetizer, while your
family never entertained such a
thought.
Your grandfather always hid the
afikomen for the children to find,
but your wife's family insists it's
the child who should do the hon-
ors.
Your next-door neighbor is Moroc-
can. She says Pesach should last
even longer than eight days, so she
celebrates with a yummy feast
called maimuna
To learn more about family tradi-
tions, as well as the practices of
other Jews, ask each person attend-
ing the seder to prepare brief infor-
mation about an interesting Pesach
custom. Younger children will enjoy
making a drawing of their discov-
ery.

Tell Me A Story ...
The story of Pesach is not, as
many assume, simply a tale of
freedom. Instead, it is a story
about the formation of the Jews as
a people. The Haggadah explains
this, of course, and every child in
Sunday school or Jewish day
school hears it many times. But the
story is always new, always fresh,
if you hear it from a different per-
spective.
Ask each child in the family to
prepare a brief presentation that
tells the story of Pesach. He or she
may want to write a poem, or draw
illustrations in a book or do a play
or sing a song. You may be sur-
prised to hear what your children
choose to emphasize. ❑
