For my familt, it's an opportunity to reaffirm our collective committment to human rights for all people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-1145381117016124952006-04-18T13:25:00.000-04:002006-04-18T13:25:00.000-04:00JA - Your description sounds like my family seders...JA - Your description sounds like my family seders. This year my mom added in some readings about the victims of Katrina and the genocide in Darfur.<BR/><BR/>We always sing "Let My People Go" which, of course, is an African American spiritual - something I didn't realize until I was an adult. I always assumed it was a traditional seder song like Dayanu and Chad Gad Yaw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13054771.post-1145316095907263952006-04-17T19:21:00.000-04:002006-04-17T19:21:00.000-04:00JA,This seder was not creative enough.

I seem to remember the Feminist Seders where the women recounted the plauges set upon them by male society (bad body image etc) the Environmental Seder where the plauges were the evils done to earth by we wicked humans and of course the Civil Rights Seder where the slavery of jews in egypt was ignored and only the slavery of blacks in america was at issue.<BR/><BR/>You can transform anything into anything. However, regardless of how assimilated or secular jews become, for some reason the only thing they seem to latch onto is the passover seder. It seems to be the only vestige left of their judaism...for reasons I can't explain. <BR/><BR/>I also remember a scene in "The Garden of the Finzi Contini" where an Italian Jewish family is performing a seder and they are singing the familiar songs with a Sephardic melody. How I can remember that is a mystery to me.asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237854868544073084noreply@blogger.com
