Oranges

I like the passover ritualistic dinner - how it is a story, how the symbols are there with you (bitter herbs, parsley dipped in salt, a bone for the paschal lamb). I like how it is a good way to teach children "where did my family come from", how it ties a family together with a people. And it includes lots of singing. It's so much more awesome than Thanksgiving!

Kendra's family mentioned the following wonderful quote last night, in reference to women rabbis: "A woman belongs at the bimah (podium of a synagogue) as much as an orange belongs on a seder plate". They have an orange on their plate. :)
