“When I open the door this year / I want to see Elijah in the doorway for real…”

:But this year, we put a warning whistle on our Seder plate. And we will continue.”

“Apple, nuts, egg and spice, and this unleavened bread, we raise up…”

“In this tender time, / tears crest the rims  / of white finger bowls / set out at even intervals…”  between seltzer bottles.

“Could we remove enough wine to make our joy palatable?”

Moving Traditions shares a reading that affirms the fullness of the experience of being alive and Jewish today, both the bitter and the sweet.

This story is a brief excerpt of Miriam and Her Dancing Shoes by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso.

“It is important to listen, / to our own/each other’s / stories…”

“The bowl / cracks / cleanly / a sea parting / to freedom.”

A beautiful reading for the Passover Table
