A Chocolate Covered Pesach

Dear Moishe Blogosphere,

This month has been pure CRAZINESS. Between work trips (New Orleans, Chicago and Palm Springs), Pesach and spring having sprung, there was much to be done. We had a lovely K for P picnic, and clearly I wasn’t the only one aching for outdoor time, because despite the fact that it was actually kind of cold out, almost 20 people showed up. We came, we lounged, we ate matza w/various delicious toppings – it was delightful. Which brings me to another wonderful event – our SEDER! We held a seder at the house with about 20 of our closest buddies. Adam cooked up a delicious storm, I slathered matza in butter, sugar and chocolate (what would be better?) and we feasted, sang and celebrated the night away. It’s always interesting when people with a variety of Jewish backgrounds come together for an event like a seder. Both this year and last I’ve thoroughly enjoyed melding the various traditions and creating a sort of hybrid – everyone experiences something completely new and also something totally comfortable and familiar – the best of both worlds, me thinks. Anyhow, summer is on the horizon and I can’t wait…

Lovies,

Riv
