Today is the 7th and last day of the Passover week in Israel.
Last Friday our town's Chabad rabbi and rebbitzin arranged a big community seder with about 45 guests.
It was nice, and four hours long, and at the end the men danced in a circle with gusto!
But because it was the Sabbath, photography was not allowed. Sorry!
We have been eating matzo for a week.
Only on Sunday, when the stores open again after Shabbat, will we be able to go buy BREAD.
And I bet the big boxes of matzot will be deeply discounted. :)
Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom.

If you're in the mood to see more about the seder and Pesach, please see my older posts under Passover.

ReplyDeleteI've never eaten it- though it is available here at this time of year. Grocery stores have stocked Passover items for years during the run up to the occasion.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, such a lacuna! You must taste some matsa ASAP. :)
ReplyDelete(Of course, you probably won't want to buy a whole kilo of it, though.)
Cloudia, thanks, blessings to you too, "cuz."
Matsa not so bad tasting. Blessing to you Dina
ReplyDeleteI normally associate Yom yovim with friends, family, good wines, clean table cloths, good silver and catching up with reading. Except for Pessach.... which I associate with grubby kichens and constipation :(
ReplyDeleteHave a great year!
Hels, hahaha! That's funny.
ReplyDeleteAlice, depending on what you spread on matsa, it can be quite good. :)
I like it. It's like big crackers! :)
