i am missing my family very much right now. your post reminds me that i am part of many tribes, that some are near and some are far, but they are still MY tribes.

This is just a cool thread

So thank you for kicking it off.

I'm procrastinating on making the kosher le pesach rocky road brownies and matzah caramel crunch right now... :)

Brings back memories of Passovers when the tables went from the dinning room into the living room to end with the 'cousin tables.'

Thanks for the links to the Jewish Women bloggers.

Thanks All!

Thanks everyone, for writing and reading. Happy Passover, chag sameach. At this time next year, may we all celebrate peace. "Next year, Jerusalem!"

Thanks Jill. I was frantically navigating through your site, trying (too late in the day) to put my post together. For some reason -- brain damaged cause by birthing children no doubt--I couldn't find your "What Jews Do" posts for Passover. So I'm super glad you've linked above!

I'll be looking for your About.com contribution!

Passover

As a non-Jew, I've always enjoyed Passover with my Jewish friends growing up and in college. Although in our new town, it's harder to find a seder. But I've been inspired to look harder this year...

Thanks for the great post!

So great

Jill Miller Zimon — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:27:30 -0500

And so much a part of the Exodus story in a way! Thanks you. :)

My Favorite Holiday!

Pam — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:53:42 -0500

We're getting ready too. A few years back I was in Austria for Passover and we had a helluva time finding a seder. I was really depressed. I emailed the synagogue in Graz to see if they had a community seder and the woman that answered my mail said, 'Yeah, we have one, but it's tiny and very formal. Why don't you come to my house, instead?"

We accepted with great delight and it turned out she was a displaced Jewish California girl married to an Austrian guy (he'd since died, which was very sad) like me. We loved being there and every year I think of their perfect kindness to strangers on Passover.

For a seder for 24 on Saturday. :)

Thanks for sharing. I've posted this link before so ignore it if you've already been there, but here's a list of Passover memories I've blogged since 2006.

I'm working on another for About.com this week, and the memories are always a little bittersweet, even though I enjoy creating new traditions.

Hag Sameach, however, wherever and whyever you celebrate.

Thank you for sharing this story. It made me smile, it made me cry and it definitely made me look foward to celebrating Passover.
