11 Travel PASSOVER FROM PAGE 118 U N J C " Why Don't We Gebv, Reacquainted ? A Chasidic Jew uses a torch to kosher pots for Passover. Israeli-born children, singing the same songs and telling the same stories my family was telling back in Detroit. We also discussed topics closer to home for Israelis, like their medical rescue mission to the Macedonia- Kosovo border. We talked about the reactions of Palestinians to the NATO strikes in Yugoslavia and Israel's offer to welcome any of the 3,000 Yugoslavian Jews requesting entry, including seven from Kosovo and Belgrade who spent the seder with the Netanyahu family. I sat surrounded by cousins who came home from the army to be at the seder, discussing the 33 political parties and six candidates running for Israeli prime minister next month. We talked about daylight savings time, and how, for them, it would begin on Friday, the day school and work schedules are shortened in preparation for Shabbat. (Sunday in Israel is a regular, full day of business and studies.) After the seder, we put away the Hagaddot that we had used without the benefit of English translation. (Why would Israeli books be translated into a foreign language?) But the difference here was that they were being stored until next year, not the next night, as Israelis observe only one seder. Some Detroit visitors to Israel fol- lowed the words of their Detroit-area rabbi instructing that if they ever intended to live in Israel, they should do like the Israelis and hold a single seder. Others opted for all-American second seders. The rest of Passover was an equal- ly enlightening experience. We spent a large part of it in Israeli restau- rants. All Israeli eating establish- ments that are kosher during the year either close down for the week or become kosher for Passover. What else would you expect from a country that has a giant kosher restaurant in their YMCA? The kosher Burger King near our hotel had a Passover menu.
