Fourth Annual Chocolate Seder a “Yummy” Success
April 6, 2009
When was the last time you were at a Passover Seder where instead of dipping parsley in salt water, you dipped strawberries and pineapple into a chocolate fountain? Unless you were one of the 150 “Bigs”, “Littles”, friends and family, probably never.
Where a traditional Seder would speak of the ten plagues, attendees at the JBBBS Seder ate them. For slaying of the first born, “Bigs” and “Littles” indulged on Baby Ruth candy bars, and when it was time for blood, there was a cry of joy as matches ate Gushers fruit snacks (because like blood, they gush).
But what would a Seder be without matzah ball soup? After being led in the blessings and traditional Seder Hagaddah by “Littles” as young as six, “Bigs”, “Littles” and their families and guests were treated to a delicious afternoon lunch followed by a spirited search for the Afikomen (hidden matzah).
The event was generously sponsored by Irving and Charlotte Backman, who were able to join the festivities. One Little Brother told his JBBBS Social Worker that “today was the best day of my life.” Next year in Jerusalem.
