Passover
Old traditions and new.
Last night at Drew's house. I bought new Haggadahs for him, the 30 minute Seder. (Becca really didn't like it, but everyone else loved the brevity of the service.) He made a turkey, instant mashed potatoes, jarred gefilte fish ...I make matzah farfel stuffing and baked a kosher-for-Passover cake from a mix. New friends and old, gathered at the table.
Tonight at my parents' house. Haggadahs that date back to the 1960's, with the crumbs of a thousand Seders in their pages. Rituals performed a thousand times. Home made chicken soup with matzah balls, turkey and brisket....
Old and new, past and future.
It's all good.
