Women's seder

Passover earrings

The Jerusalem Post has an informative article on a women's seder now being sponsored by Hamidrasha, a center that seeks to bridge religious and secular cultures in Israel.  In the women's seder, masculine Hebrew words are rewritten in the feminine; songs and readings focus on the seasonal renewal of spring; and the traditional four questions of the Haggadah have a somewhat different tone.  For example . . . 

Why is this night different from all other nights?

This night is not different from all other nights.

On all other nights, I promise myself that tomorrow I will eat less, I will tell another story to my children and I will be a little bit kinder.

Tonight is just the same.

PICTURED ABOVE:  Passover earrings from Chadis Crafts, featuring the Haggadah and a seder plate.  Besides having lots of interesting jewelry, the Chadis Crafts site has a couple other fun features of note:

  • Scroll down to the bottom of the home page for a welcoming "Shalom Y'all" (Chadis Crafts is in Virginia), and
  • As the site proudly proclaims, it sells "THE FIRST JEWISH FLIPFLOPS ON THE WEB!"
