Here is my Passover album on Facebook — I hope this link works. It was an exhausting but wonderful night. I made a brisket. Mom brought matzoh ball soup, tsimmes (a sweet potato and carrot mixture), the seder plate contents (roasted lamb shank bone, horseradish root, parsley, roasted egg), and cranberry sauce. Laura brought delicious (non-Manischewitz) wine. Dad presided over the seder service. All the kids participated. And Nat said most of the prayers at our seder — he even paused when he got to “shel Shabbat,” which means “the lights of Sabbath.” I prompted him: “Passover,” and then he said, “shel Passover.” He also read passages (in English) from our Hagaddah (the story of Passover that you read from at the seder table). He corrected himself when he got the word wrong, like when he read, “spirit,” as “sprite.”
