So the afternoon before
Is time for eating food

If your town has lots of Jews,

Just like they used to be.

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

Of th...

Two Seders

...At Seder 1 we helped prepare
The soup and matzoh balls served there,
The hard-boiled eggs and chicken dressed
In farfel flakes, which tastes the best.

The Seder

...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 wit...

Matzoh

While others think it’s great.

Isn’t worth a big debate.

You’ll consume it for a week,
In honor of ...

Fluffy matzoh balls on tap.

And the cookie sheets as well,
For the foo...

A beer I will decline.

Encounter

...A squirrel dashed in front of me,
An acorn in his mouth.

He was going south.

He on four feet, I on two;
Each, though, in a hurry.
I’d increased my pace a bit;
