Passover Around the World

While this post could be a commentary on how new rituals get added to Seders, it isn’t. It could be a discussion of what contemporary trials and tribulations enslave us now, but it isn’t that either. It is merely an observation.

An observation that while part of the Jewish community will turn off the computer, the BlackBerry, the iPhone, the Droid, and leave Facebook status updates status quo over Passover, another part of the community will participate in the first “Passover Seder Around the World.” It’s a Passover Seder facilitated by www.go2meeting.com under the auspices of OurJewishCommunity.org. They are hoping to get participants from at least a dozen countries in multiple time zones. People can sign up in advance to read. The press release says all you need in a computer with Internet access. (I would add 4 cups of wine, but that’s just me.)

Wishing you and yours a happy and meaningful Passover.
