Just thought I'd make a hangout thread for us token Jews and our gentile buddies! Drinks for all! *L'chaim*

my first taste of wine was manischevitz!
i thought it was grape juice.

happy passover, Dari.

Haha, yeah, it's pretty close to grape juice. Vintage 2010 right? It's too bad Jew wine is not super tasty, since the Seder requires 4 cups of the stuff.

i think the Seder is a beautiful tradition.
we say grace, but it's done quickly and without ceremony.

Passover Seder can either be a lot of fun, or very long and tedious. Depending on the leader :) My Grandfather/Great grand father...Long and tedious. My cousins, much more fun. :)

i would want sentiment and funny.

Haha, that's amusing! :)

i can't find anything very funny.

passover is when God spared the home with lambs blood on their doorways, correct?
what else besides Seder do you do to celebrate?

i didn't even make it to mass today.
*hangs head in shame*

Hello Daria! Happy Easter! C:

hey, *Hime*.

/prods Hummy
You are everywhere!

Happy Passover to you to *Hime* (JOKES)

The seders are the biggest part of Passover. It's a dinner that is done in order (which is what seder means, order). The seder talks about the Jews being slaves in Egypt and their journey to freedom from slavery. One of the ten plagues is the slaying of the first born son, the Jewish houses were sparred due to the sacrifice of the pascal lamb and it's blood being placed on their doorways. Pretty icky huh!

Most Jews will change their dietary habits for a week, depending on your ancestry. I am descendant form European Jews, so no leavened breads, no corn, peas, etc. The Middle Eastern Jews do something different, which I think includes not eating desserts, but I am not exactly sure on that.

yes i am.
i'm an equal opportunity poster.
:heart:

Happy passover Daria C:
Very interesting stuff :o

hummy: so it seems!

edit: didn't mean to ping you there, sorry!

How's life been going Hime? It's been awhile since we've gotten to chat :)

Well, life has been quite hectic since I moved out and went to live in a community home.
But now it's going swell, I actually got a new job in which I start next thursday! -excited-
How have you been?

Doing okay. I am considering changing areas in my profession. I need a break from dealing with crazy, I mean, parents. I have about 8 weeks left and then 2 paid months to look for something else :) So, I am looking forward to change :)

Parents can be crazy indeed :<
Oh! That sounds adventurous! Would it be a big change in career?

More of a change in clientele. I'm strongly considering moving from pediatrics to geriatrics. Less drama there. There is still crazy, but that's just dementia. SO par for the course ya know?

good luck finding what you want.
it's a difficult field either way?

Oh my! Um, yeah...Bunnies aren't a part of Passover...But, um, thanks?

Hey hummy: could you put Mr. Bun bun behind a spoiler bar please? He's making me kinda uncomfy. He's not against PG-13, so I will not abuse my mod powers and do it myself, but um...Yeah.... Please? *Bats eyes and looks all cutelike at you*

I was wondering about this; so thanks for sharing! :D
Very informative.
