Take Me Out To The Passover Seder?!

While you can’t get many kids (or some adults for that matter) pay attention during a Passover seder, the Little Brothers and Little Sisters of Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters were all ears at the agency’s annual Passover celebration.

What made this seder different than all other seders (sorry we couldn’t resist)? Well to start this seder had innings for the “order of the seder”, led by a Red Sox clothed Moses and Yankee dressed Pharoah. Generously supported each year by the Joan A. Backman Memorial Passover Fund, over 200 “Bigs”, “Littles”, and “Littles” families dipped not once but twice in our chocolate fountain, crossed the Red Sea and sang to Schlock Rock songs like “Let’s Get This Seder Started.” There was an opportunity to make your own seder plate and matzah cover which pleased our most artistic Little Brothers and Little Sisters. The 10 Plagues were interactive and had our matches wearing masks (cattle) and sunglasses (darkness) and dining on red licorice (blood). Before everyone dug into the chocolate seder plate, over 100 “Littles” went searching for the afikomen. Talk about fun!

When we asked a Little Brother how many thumbs he’d give the seder he said ‘two thumbs AND two toes”. I wonder what Moses what would say?
