As I prepare to attend a seder at Howl's brother's house (and as Howl may prepare to eat a pork-fried-pork sandwich on a Kaiser roll), I have prepared a list of my favorite aspects of passover:
1. Rabbi Hillel's sandwich
2. Chrain+Gefilte (pronounced "Gail-fight")
3. I like how people have their annual jokes that they save for the seder.
4. Matza's dramatic introduction into the Seder:
"This is the bread of affliction, which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt.
Let all who are hungry come and eat.
Let all who are in need, come and celebrate Passover.
Today, we are here. Next year, in the land of Israel.
Today, we are slaves. Next year, we will be free."
5. The fantastic conclusion of the whole thing: "Next year in Jerusalem! Next year may all be free!"
