Every year we go to the same friends' house for second night seder - our rabbi and his wife's. They are both educators and we've learned so much from them over the years. My eldest is now 24 and my favorite memory is going when he was just one year old and sleeping in a stroller throughout the entire seder. Their eldest child was almost 20 at the time and she rocked him back and forth when he woke up to help him get back to sleep. Their daughter now has three kids of her own and is head of school at a day school in Manhattan. I love that their daughter is now educating the next generation as they educated ours.
Seeing scores of friends, students and community members dining together at Hillel lunches during Chol haMoed Pesach!! It's great to see everyone sitting together eating Leah's traditional Pesach fare!
Afikomin award. Grandfather says what would you like as a reward. I said a bike. Thinking this was too grand a reward, but he relented after parental pressure. This was 1946 just after the war. Bicycles hard to get. Took a month shopping around, calling stores, waiting lists. Finally, bought a 24" Schwinn, red and white with a battery powered headlight. Next year my older sister got an English 3-speed Rudge. Then later on, my younger brother. Seems I started a new tradition. Fun memory. Thanks.
Doing Chad Gadya with the kids doing all the voices for the different animals/elements mentioned in the song!
The retelling of our history in new and fresh ways, focusing on the past and the present - bringing relevant history to our seders.
Learning together with my family is the special memory that I will never forget....
