A Seder On Zoom

We’re having a Seder on Zoom And Passover foods we'll consume. We’ll eat as a group Things like matzoh ball soup But our seats won’t be in the same room. We’ll read the Haggadah to tell Of the story we all know so well – How the Jews, once enslaved, Crossed the sea and were saved Though they wandered around for a spell. Tradition requires we recite Plagues which filled the Egyptians with fright: Locusts, blood, boils and then Frogs and more, which made 10, All repeated on Passover night. So by sundown, the Seder will start, Though from custom we have to depart. Still, by screen we’ll connect And we’ll one day reflect How this plague couldn’t keep us apart.

I feel like we are all enslaved right now, confined to our house-cells. I am glad you have a celebration on Zoom! Well done!

Sounds like Zoom had you virtually all in the same room! Happy Passover, Ilene!

Isn't technology wonderful so that you can still take part in the services without leaving the house, You brought back happy memories of when I was a nanny and I took part in the Seder celebrations. although I was grateful when we didn't have to have matzohs !:-) hugs Jan xx
