A Thoughtful Seder

Some thoughts from the books the children made this week.

When I sit at the festive Passover Seder Table, I think about

Lochlan: Putting special things on my table.

When I light the bright Holiday candles, I think about
Makayah: The blessing.

When I eat flat crunchy matzah I think about
Moshe: The slaves in Egypt when they were sad.

When I drink 4 cups of sweet grape juice, I think about
Emily: The FOUR cups of wine.

When I eat some bitter Maror, I think about
Evan: King Pharaoh made the Jews do stuff and they had a hard bitter life.

When I dip a vegetable into salty water, I think about
Eli: The tears.

When I eat red and brown charoset, I think about
Clive: The materials used to make the bricks.

When I lean on a comfy pillow, I think about

Lochlan: How happy we are free.

When I see a tall Elijah's cup, I think about

Makayah: The blessings.

When I ask the 4 Questions in the Mah Nishtana, I think about
Moshe: Learning more about the slaves in Egypt.

When I hear the empowering story of the slaves in Egypt becoming free, I think about
Moshe: How happy I feel.

After the lovey Seder, I fall asleep and think about

Evan: That the Jewish people were free.
