Pesach Full For All

W ith frogs on my head and frogs in my bed
..." and frogs in my Haggadah and
Passover fun for everyone.
I really prefer the "modern" form that
our seders have taken, joining with our grandchildren in
some of the fun events.
Prior to the seder, "paint" cases for the pillows you'll
use to recline. Frogs with googly
eves are one great -decoration. Let
kids be creative.
Songs have ever been a mainstay
and who can resist the fun of
"Don't Sit on the Afikomen"? It's
also great fun to get up and do a
hora step to verses of "Dayenu,"
followed by vigorous jumping up
and down during the repeat of the
chorus. No one will sleep through
that!

Visuals are a great addition.

Styrofoam balls make good hail;
soft plastic beetles, frogs and spi-
ders all add distinctive touches. An inventive seder
leader even knows how to turn a glass of water to
"blood" and really grab attention.
Try finding stickers of animals and pasting them to
random pages in all of the haggadot. Whenever some-
one turns to a page with an animal, he is required to
make that animal's sound.
Try asking some thought-provoking questions such as
1) How many times is Moses mentioned in the
Hagaddah? or 2) Why does the matzah have holes? We
even made up a Jeopardy game. The categories were
Shabbat, Pesach, prayers, customs, etc. It is not too hard
to come up with questions for each of the categories
with varying values (give out toothpicks, rather than
money) and have some dollar-store prizes for the win-
ners and even some consolation ones so that all can be
winners.
Whether you are the one to hide the afikomen or you
have it hidden from you, be sure to act, react and inter-
act to have fun at your seder. And if you should sit on
the afikomen, just have the dustpan ready! ❑

11 leishig, Yiddish for "meat," is related to the English word

"flesh:" and rnilchig, Yiddish for dairy, is related to the
English word "milk." While not related to the English
word "par," meaning equal, the third category of food can indeed
be used equally with milk or meat products. What is it?

You know we hate making corrections.
For years now we've raised no objections.
But, Moshe Rabaynu, -
We've had it! Dayenu."
For crying out loud, ask directions.

the death penalty, he will at least not become the poster boy
and martyr for hate groups.

"We need synagogue leaders of spiritual daring who are pre-
pared to take some risks, and to try and sing Jewish notes they
had thought beyond their range. We need men and women,
Torah in hand, who are prepared to be exactly where it is most
uncomfortable to be — out in front of the people.

"

— Rabbi Eric Yoffie, head of the Reform movement's synagogue
arm, speaking at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield on his vision for
a national model that local temple boards could emulate.
