Can’t you just picture the answers tonight, from every place in the world where a Seder is being held. LOL!

There is a Yiddish term, sh’vach, which means something like “good enough”. Tonight, my Seder is a sh’vach seder. No tables put together to seat 24, no silver polished or linen pressed, no help in the kitchen, no cooking and baking for a week, no joy as the youngest haltingly shows off her or his reading skills by asking the Four Questions. Just FaceTiming, and a lot of laughs as we’ll chime in with “Why This Night is Different From All Other Nights”!
And for the record, this isn’t the first time a crudely drawn shank bone has appeared on this Seder plate.

Happy Passover!
