Let’s build strong interfaith solidarity by refraining from appropriating Jewish rituals.
Here are a few more ‘arguments’ that we didn’t include, but feel we should head off… “But Judaism is the root of Christianity”. We are a living, breathing people and our traditions have continued to live and thrive despite Christian oppression. These traditions came after Jesus and are not for the taking. “But Jesus was the Passover Lamb!” That’s a Christian tradition and has nothing to do with us. There are many beautiful Christian traditions. Go celebrate them. Enjoy them. No need to take ours.
Make sure to share and if you see someone having a Christian seder, educate them!

Hey!
Are you a gentile who is not a member of an interfaith Jewish family?
Do you want to celebrate Passover/host a Seder, but you haven’t been invited to an event held by Jews (friends, family, co-workers, interfaith outreach initiatives etc.)?
DO NOT CELEBRATE PASSOVER OR ATTEMPT TO HOST A SEDER
No matter what your reasoning is for observing Pesach, from honouring or being like Jesus to “standing with Jews” nor for any other reason you may come up with.
Due to many factors, such as the fall of the second temple and the introduction of Rabbinic Judaism, Passover today is nothing like it was in Jesus' time.
Pesach being biblical does not justify non-Jews observing the holiday (outside of being welcomed in by Jews) as the covenants found in the Torah, laws that Jews still follow today, are not relevant to nor commanded of gentiles in general or of modern Christians.
Not only is this appropriation of a closed religion, but Passover is a major holiday has a deep cultural significance that cannot be removed from its religious and historical context.
If you have people in your life who are Jewish who welcome you to observe Pesach with them, that is wonderful and we are happy to have you, but you should not be doing it independently, especially if you are altering the message to make the story about Jesus.
Before you shout “gatekeeping” remember Judaism is a closed practice, if you want to be allowed through those gates you need the key.

It's Passover and that means we had pavlova for dessert because it's flour free (we eat kitniyot in my house, but potato starch would work instead of corn starch for those who don't). Also it's nut free which makes it great for being around the high number of people with dietary requirements

Dayenu
So, for my job, I used to write things with a Rabbi... like emails and social media posts, etc...
A few years ago, at the first COVID Passover, there was no travel or social gathering, and very few people were able to visit family to celebrate the holiday. People were alone for their Seders and it was a new and isolating experience. Knowing how difficult this would be, I looked up some speeches and opinion pieces about Passover that might be inspiring and maybe lift some spirits...
I wish I could remember the Rabbi, but one write up was about how we say Dayenu (translated as, "It would have been sufficient"). Dayenu recounts all the wonderful things Hashem has done for the Jewish people and basically breaks it down that if Hashem had ONLY done this one thing for us, it would have been sufficient. It's a long list and one of them is, "If Hashem had brought us to Mount Sinai and not given us the Torah, it would have been sufficient." But that raises the question of what would be the point of gathering the Jewish people to Sinai and NOT giving us the Torah?
The answer is: Because this was the first time we, the Jewish people, had been gathered together specifically as the Jewish people. It was the first time we were gathered as a joint community.
I wrote how this related to us being isolated during COVID during the holiday... How did I connect this?
Even if we are sitting alone in our homes, we are all doing that together. All of us, all the Jewish people around the world - in the diaspora, in Israel, all the same nights and doing the same basic things (though traditions vary). We are still the Jewish people. We are still gathered as a joint community. We are still all connected to each other through this holiday - telling the same story of our freedom from slavery. We are joined by an invisible bond to all our fellow Jews with our identity intact, surviving thousands of years, telling our story year after year.
It was a call to remember we are not alone, even when we are alone.
I think about it again now because I see so many Jews on this site and on other media talking about how they feel isolated and alone.
I hope we all remember that we are joined together by that invisible bond still. That as we sit at our Seders and telling our story, there are millions of others who are doing the same and that we are still here as a community. We drink our wine (or grape juice or what have you) and dip our bitter herbs into a mixture of apple/nuts/wine/dates (or d'vash or whatever you use) for morar... We sing Dayenu and welcome Eliyahu... we do so separately and together... with family, or with friends, while hiding on college campuses, or in hotels with catered meals, at big tables and small, for the first time or for the 180th time, with chairs full and with empty chairs for the missing...
And I hope that for those that are feeling alone can somehow read this and know that they aren't alone. We are here with you. We are Jews with you. We are a community and we survive by telling our story every year together.
Sending you all love and hope for happiness and peace.
May it be sufficient.

As we gather around as Jews, we are taught this:
As the Jews finished crossing the parted sea, the angels wanted to start to sing about (Praise) the water collapsing on Pharohs soldiers.
G-D was enraged by the angels. As even Pharohs people were also G-Ds children.
Tumblr media
My grandmother taught me that G-D loves all of his children, and we are all seen as human. We make mistakes, we fight, we argue, but being human is to err. It is not us as humans to judge another human.
Every time I was a child, I would fight with a cousin, and my grandmother reminded us of this. We were going to be related, so we might as well get along and get it over sooner than later.
