Congratulations,
Jon Schey!
We are so proud of you!
Diane: Here in Israel, we have only one
seder. My husband tries to give a lot of
commentary geared toward kid level so
that the children can understand what
Passover is all about.
Our 10-year-old son also gives several
commentaries. Each of the children
recites the Four Questions. Actually, last
year was the first year that all three did.
It's exciting as each becomes old enough
to actively participate.
Our two smaller children usually conk
out at about 10 p.m., even though we
insist on naps beforehand. Yehudah, our
eldest, tries to stay up until the end; we
try to finish by midnight.
Staci: After the Kiddush and everyone is
seated, each person is given his or her
own grab bag. Inside are the props and
parts each is responsible for during the
evening. Examples: someone may have a
baby boy, a burning bush, a puppet to
represent one of four sons. Everyone gets
sunglasses for darkness. The children,
wearing backpacks, walk through the
crepe paper of the Red Sea.
People also have readings in English
and Hebrew. Everyone at the table is
included in the seder at least once.
We conclude our seder with
"Hatikvah" and "God Bless America."
and success in your future.
Love,
Mom, Dad, Jamie,
Nana & Poppy

John: I love matzah ball soup.
Diane: My all-time favorite Pesach food
is charoset. Until I came to Israel, I
always thought it was supposed to be
coarse like the bricks.
Then I learned that it is supposed to
be nearly pureed like the mortar. So now
I make it in the food processor, rather
than chopping the apples by hand.
We have a tradition in our family to
save some for the seventh day of Pesach
to eat at a third meal, as well. It gets bet-
ter with age because the wine and cinna-
mon soak in. Yum.
