Tell me about a special Passover you remember: a family seder, a community seder, whatever!

Hmm, well I observe Passover every year so there are quiet alot of memories! Ok, one of the best from when I was younger, was looking for the 'afikomen' (The piece of matza which the father hides for the children to find) Whoever found the afikomen would get a prize! Um I used to also love the fact that I was able to stay up so late, hehe. Passover as a whole is cool, but when I was younger it felt too long and having 2 'sedarim' (passover meals) was too much, but nowdays the whole passover just flies past so quick that you hardly even realise you experienced it again! Well, one week till Passover! Have a great one :-)

From as early as I can remember, my dad has been the most boring seder leader. And well, he still is :)
No really, the most special passover was when I really heard the part that it wasn't just my ancestors who left Egypt but that it was really all of us. It put things into a different perspective and helped me to cement Judaism's importance in my life.
We're a group of people who have been pushed around, beaten up, and ridiculed. But we're still here and we still help each other when it's needed (and even when we're not asked). I love being Jewish!!!

Well one year we got to the "Poor out thy wrath" bit and the door- left open for Elijah slammed shut, then at some point (either just after it our the next night) the lights went dead at the same thing. Now it was probably just the wind and the fact that we were suffing from county wide black outs all that year.. But I have to tell you just for a moment I thought the might be more to it...

I was at a hotel for Pesach, and my uncle had hid the afikoman that night. I looked all over the place and when I couldnt find it I went on the floor looking. Before I knew it I was underneath the table of some strangers table!!

When I was younger my parents never used Grape juice for the sederim and as you have to drink four glasses of wine my sister and I got pretty drunk. When I was drunk I just got sleepy and my sister got very giggly. As I grew up and could handle the alcohol better it was really funny watching my sister.
