This is my husband.I call him Dudi. That's his name in Hebrew.
He came home from work early. No, he wasn't sick and I wasn't sick. He wanted to get ready for the big night. A night he probably anticipates more than Christmas... Passover evening.
This is a fairly big deal. Costumes, the Seder program, and the food--bitter herbs and all.
Maybe I should explain a little.
He's been to Jerusalem a couple times, he has taught Hebrew, and he has a Masters in Hebrew Bible. So yes, you could call it a hobby, or something like that.
Well, it was our first go around having a family Passover Seder. It is really a multi-hour process, but due to the age of our children (okay, and me) we condensed it to about 40 minutes.
I was so excited (and relieved) that the kids really enjoyed it.
Micah tried EVERYTHING that was given to him. He participated and loved the program and learning the reasons for the food that we ate. Dudi was so happy (good boy, Micah).
Yes, we know only the boys are suppose to wear the Kappas (hats). Do you really think Liv was going to pass on an accessory though? Liv and Asher didn't want to try most of the food, but they were all over the grape juice!
It was really fun and a great way to teach the kids the story of the Passover. Now they are set for the Easter Story.

Wow!!! I know who to talk to next year for info to help the Pierce passover be a better experience.
That is so fabulous!!!! I love that Olivia wanted to wear a Kappa.
What a wonderful family tradition you are starting!
That is so neat that Micah ate everything.
You were right, Mr. B, your dad and I certainly DID ENJOY THIS BLOG!! The picture of you in your Jewish dress was our favorite, of course!! We love the fact that we've enjoyed you dressed IN THIS in person before. It's a great experience! Micah looks right at home there reading his part in the seder. Who found the 'Ofikomen'? So Asher and Livy didn't chow down on the matzah, I take it? :)
