I was just going through 200 or more spa...Melissa,<br /><br />I was just going through 200 or more spam comments in my account, and came upon your comment there, so I published it. I hope you subscribed to the comments so you will see my reply.<br /><br />First of all, thank you for taking the time to comment. There are MANY details of the Haggadah, such as the one about the haroseth representing mortar, that I left out, although since that stood out to you, I have edited the script to include it. <br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that you take exception to the use of the Passover celebration in relation to Christ. In light of Christian teaching, however, it is Jesus himself who unmistakably connected himself to Passover in his careful observance of it before his death. This is a beautiful part of Christian tradition that too many Christians miss because they don't understand what he was doing. <br /><br />My grandfather was a Jewish man who came from Russia and married my Norwegian grandmother early in the 20th century. I never had the privilege of knowing him, and I have always wished we had incorporated more of that heritage into our lives.<br /><br />I did quite a bit of research before I arrived at this script. I described the process in <a href="http://tracypnothomeyet.blogspot.com/2010/04/family-passover-meal.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a> before posting this script. My goal was to arrive at a script that I could introduce to my family for the first time, in consideration of the ages of my children. I felt that my best opportunity to include them was to keep it brief enough and interactive enough to hold their attention. As you mentioned, and as I found in my research, different Jewish families adapt the elements for their own use, which I think is a beautiful expression of the fact that we each reflect the image of God in ways that are unique. This script is merely one woman's approach, and some friends asked me to share it.<br /><br />All of this said, please know that I am completely aware that Passover and Easter are not the same thing. They are, however, both part of my heritage. God's blessings to you!Tracy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750283241399825265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052617420117689150.post-46733129862753471682013-03-25T14:47:06.005-06:002013-03-25T14:47:06.005-06:00Saw this on Pinterest. Charoset is not just "...Saw this on Pinterest. Charoset is not just "sweet jam" is represents the mortar that held together the bricks made by Jews in Egypt. You should really get a Haggadah and read it thoroughly. Wishing someone a Chag Pesach Sameachis not the same as saying Happy Easter; the holidays are different in kind and ritual and celebration (e.g., some families use an orange on the Passover plate for women). I'm sure you mean well, but Pesach isn't a holiday to be co-opted by modern Christians. Comparing this in Passover to that in Easter is trying to fit a circle into a square.Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052617420117689150.post-82363783208655772342011-04-22T19:34:11.938-06:002011-04-22T19:34:11.938-06:00The first time we did it my kids were 8 and 10.

I've heard that people sometimes begin with just a small portion of it, and add each year as the kids can handle more.Tracy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750283241399825265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052617420117689150.post-87237933639982960052010-04-11T13:46:37.059-06:002010-04-11T13:46:37.059-06:00wow, when did you start doing that with your kids?...wow, when did you start doing that with your kids?
