Pass the Matzah!


Pepper hosted a Passover meal with a "Love and Justice" theme last Sunday which drew at least a dozen people. Having been raised in a completely different tradition, I felt honored and delighted to participate in the ancient ritual. That being said, I doubt the proceedings of ancient orthodox passovers could have been this ecclectic or politcially correct. She used a script from an online Zine and which included directions on how to make the event "Trans-friendly." With readings from good old MLK, wonderful company, reflections on world events, and plenty of matzah ball soup, who could complain? If the event remotely resembles other Jewish gatherings, I'm sold.
Want to try your own new-age Passover next Spring? The full script is available at http://colours.mahost.org/events/haggadah.html.
