A chag kasher v’sameach to one and all as well.

For the past few years, I’ve been going for one seder to the house of someone who took over from hosting from a couple who had hosted the first seder I’d go to for something like 5 years. I had found out about that seder from contacting a local synagogue that was willing to place me with a family for one seder (most wouldn’t) for one night and another for the second. Well, after 5 years, the couple who hosted the first seder decided to retire from seder-hosting, but referred me to another member of the congregation who has been my host for 4 of the last 5 years. She appreciates that I have more than average knowledge when it comes to Passover and Yiddishkeit (the group that gets together - over 30 - are not all Jewish and are an eclectic mix of people).

The meal is according to the Sephardic tradition, which is a whole lot tastier than what I’d grown up with, and with the mix of people, the conversation is a whole lot different than what I grew up with. It made for a lot of fun.
