Happy Passover! Or is that tomorrow? Is it OK to say "Happy Passover?"

I think it starts at sunset this evening (Friday), so you're on time. Can't help you whether or not "Happy Passover" is correct.

You might look at cellio's last post before she and Dani left, there are some phrases in Hebrew that would be appropriate (but I don't know what they mean :)

Edit: Look here for translations. Search for "Chag Sameach".

I was always taught that the proper expression was "Good Pesach" but I suspect the important part is the intent. :-)

Why wouldn't it be?

It actually starts tonight (Sat night).
"Happy Passover" works just great.

So, thanks! It's always a fun holiday for kids. It's also meant to be a teaching holiday, in which you invite people into your home and show them what you do on the holiday. Maybe one year we'll do a medieval Seder, and have the Barony over! There are many extant Haggadot (guidebooks) from medieval times.

That is an excellent idea. You could make the papers with something like that.

Thanks! "Happy Passover" is just fine. Or "chag sameach" (Hebrew), or "gut yontif" (Yiddish; pronounce it kinda like German), or anything else. It's the sentiment that counts. :-)

Passover started Saturday night, after Shabbat ended but a lot of people start early.
