Pesach – I just love it!

Pesach is one of my most favorite holidays. It is not so much the preparation, or the cleaning ;-), but the feeling you get as the holiday actually ushers in. The house is spotless, that deliciously cozy feeling from working hard combined with a Seder decked out in luxury; is when the feeling of excitement  really kicks in.

For Pesach, we go to my in-laws and the Seder is truly a time for a seriously great time. Masks and finger puppets for the ten machos (whether or not there are children present), and those little green frogs that when you push down their backs, they spring three feet across the table!

They are always generous in having guests that may be less familiar with the holiday, which rudely enough allows for much amusement. After a couple of glasses of wine, it becomes more than difficult to contain that amusement!

This year, with 2.5 triplets, I have unsuccessfully been attempting to teach them the ‘Mah Nishtana.’Still trying!

I pray for all of us all, to be removed from the slavery of this exile and the slavery of our desires and temptations to sin and may we celebrate next year in Jerusalem!
