Myself, I'm long gone before 'midnight's gong.'  Some of the early Sages would have splitting headaches from Passover all the way to the Pentecost. That's fifty days...

Two full cups of wine even before we dine Two more later, raised in song What could go wrong ~ by midnight’s gong* __________________________ *All food and drink must be con- sumed by the middle of the night... A 'Seder' is the order of the ritualized ceremony of Passover night.

I enjoyed reading this fun write. With 2 full cups of wine before you eat. Then 2 more later, I would be gong too. But I don't drink... Have a wonderful spring week..........
