Pesach
Pesach (Passover) begins tomorrow night. I finished getting the kitchen ready tonight after dinner.
We're joining friends from the congregation for tomorrow night's seder. This should fulfill my dream of a seder that doesn't skip major parts and where everyone wants to be there. (You'd think that wouldn't be hard, but the family seders are challenging that way.) There should also be a lot of singing, which is a bonus in my book (and Dani's).
I'm not sure if we have an invitation for Thursday night; I was expecting to hear today but didn't, so I guess tomorrow. (Or worst case, Thursday at morning services.) Perhaps ironically, Dani feels more strongly about a second seder than I do. I believe we don't need the second days of holidays now that the reason no longer applies. Dani has gone to two seders for about as long as he can remember, for family rather than religious reasons, so that's what he's used to. Still, I hope it works out, both for Dani and because it's a family I would very much enjoy sharing a seder with.
Random note for locals: the Giant Eagle in Squirrel Hill still had several bottles of kosher-for-Pesach Coke when I was there tonight. Why is this special? It's made with sugar, not corn syrup. I normally drink diet drinks, but I picked up one bottle because the sugar really does improve the taste. (The KfP ones are stamped on the caps in Hebrew.)
