Suffer the little children to come unto me
Today was a passover Yeshua would have made a top memory
A great log house alive with goats and fowl
Two little dogs playing sniff and growl
Seven little children faces all aglow
Running and playing in their own fun and show
Sitting round the passover table reading the haggadah
Passing the bitter herbs some smileing some blahh
Enjoying and loving with each passed dish
Learning and laughing with freedom and bliss
The table was humble as it should be
And lit by the candles so lovely to see
A meal was shared and history learned
Bonds were made and hearts discerned
A stranger invited a blessing recieved
Yes Yeshua loved it very much indeed

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.

Passover at Sunset Friday
"Chag Pesach Sameach "
To all my Jewish friends:
May the joy of your Seder meal
never end!
And your Tradition of the Haggadah,
Last to the world without end!
The wine, the special foods, the songs
and washing of hands.
The lighting of the candles to begin
your meal
May Israel remain forever n G_d's hands.
That no nation can steal!
"Next year, in Jerusalem"
With my love for Israel and Judaism,
Panagiota Romios

We covered all the bases –
Told the story, though in brief.
With a toddler and an infant,
It brought everyone relief.
Moses, Pharaoh, matzoh,
Dipping veggies, drinking wine,
Taking turns with the Haggadah,
Festive meal on which to dine.
Every Seder’s slightly different
As my memories attest,
But with grandkids at the table,
This one ranks up with the best.
