I Survived My Family Passover Seder Funny T-Shirt

2020 has been a really tough year, which is putting it as mildly as possible. With over 250,000 Americans now dead from COVID, political unrest, lockdowns and a contentious election, it has really taken a toll on people. In fact it's been so bad that I can imagine that future generations will be amazed that any of us survived it (and all we got was this lousy t-shirt).
For me, the best example of this came pretty early on in the lockdown, when my family did a Passover Seder over Zoom. I've lived in California for over eight years now, and I haven't been home for a Seder in all that time. Obviously, it wasn't the same as doing it in person; things got kind of silly pretty quickly with my cousin and his kids spending the entire time doing funny Zoom animations. Also, half the participants were over 70, meaning most of them could barely figure out how to use Zoom at all. Still, it was somehow the closest many of us have been with each other in years, and I had the chance to see people who I haven't seen in years.
read the Exodus commands concerning the Passover. The lambs were slaughtered on the evening beginning the 14th, the Passover. This was the time Jesus instituted the symbols of the new covenant at supper. This was later changed by the Jews to be later in the day so as to accommodate the large number of lambs slaughtered in the temple. Originally the lambs were to be slaughtered at the dwelling, immediately roasted and eaten and any leftovers burned. The change to the temple was one of the traditions Jesus scolded the religious leaders over placing above the scripture. Jesus and probably other Jews were observing the Passover [not a seder] that had been prepared according to scripture. Jesus was killed according to Jewish traditional passover, which is ironic.
Great for keeping little ones occupied at the seder table! Each page of our hand-sewn soft book is decorated with different passover-themed images for young children to count. One pharaoh, two haggadas, three cups of wine... 24 x 17 cm. Hand printed and sewn from cotton blend fabric. Small velcro closure keeps the book shut when not in use. A wonderful keepsake.
The seder is a ritual feast that marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover. The seder is a time to come together with family and friends, to tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt, and to eat special foods. So what kind of dress should you wear to a seder? There is no one answer to this question. It depends on where you will be celebrating the seder and what the dress code is for that event. If you are attending a seder at a synagogue, you may want to dress more formally. If you are having a seder at home with family and friends, you can dress more casually. In general, it is important to be comfortable during the seder. You will be sitting for long periods of time, and you may want to recline on a pillow at times. Choose clothing that you can move and sit in comfortably. If you are attending a more formal seder, you may want to wear a dress or skirt and blouse. Men may want to wear a suit or dress slacks and a dress shirt. If the event is less formal, jeans and a nice shirt or blouse may be appropriate. It is also important to consider the weather when choosing your seder attire. If it is warm outside, you may want to choose lighter weight fabrics. If it is cooler, you may want to dress in layers so you can adjust if the temperature changes. No matter what you choose to wear, remember that the seder is a time to come together and celebrate. The most important thing is to be with family and friends, and to enjoy the holiday.
Nafiya Naso was only two when she and her parents and brother fled their home in Khana Sor, a village in Northern Iraq. As the Iraqi people rose up against Saddam Hussein, her father was forced to serve in the Iraqi Army, where he had been shot twice. He survived, and escaped, and that night, with little warning, the family fled to Syria.
Shmuel could never explain how he, out of all his family and friends, survived. In his heart of hearts, he once confided to me, it may have been because he viewed his continued existence on earth as a holy mission -- to go back to his roots and uncover his own symbol of survival. Incredibly enough, in ways that defy all logic and that Shmuel only hinted to me, this escapee of 20th-century genocide was reunited with his reminder of deliverance from age-old Egyptian oppression. Shmuel journeyed back to his home, found his tree, counted off his steps, dug where he remembered he had buried it and successfully retrieved his Seder plate. It became a symbol of his own liberation as well. With it he celebrated dozens of Passovers, until his death.
Marcelle (Betsy Aidem) is a member of the Salomon family, Jews who have lived in France for hundreds of years. Those of her relatives who survived the Holocaust, stayed. Her father, in his eighties, is the fifth generation of Salomons who have owned piano stores throughout France, a business that he rebuilt after the war.
Tragically, however, her parents and her five brothers would never again celebrate Passover together outside the ghetto. Yehudit and her sister Etka were the only members of their family that survived the Shoah.
As he grew up, he would help in the kitchen when his grandmother catered weddings and banquets. She also cooked for the local church, and during the war she was able to get official papers stating that his family was not Jewish; although it was helpful, not all of them survived.
When asked about his memories of the family Passover seder in Poland, Berengut said that the matzah only came in small squares. Since it was not available in Lublin, his family would receive it from cousins who lived in West Wroclaw, a town close to the German border where the matzah was made.
The main course for the family seder was lamb or veal, depending on what kosher meat was available. His father had a friend who sold them the whole animal, which they would have butchered by the local rabbi. They sold off the portions they could not use, making enough money to pay for the whole animal. 2b1af7f3a8
