(jewish folk music)
- I know little to nothing about Judaism.
I dated a Jew once though!
- I saw the Prince of Egypt.
- Yeah, I'm excited.
I love learning about different cultures.
- We are going to retell the story
of the leaving of Egypt together.
So if you look at the table,
we have all these different foods
that are going to allow us to eat through the journey.
How better to learn a story than to eat a story?
So one of the things you might want to keep in mind
when we think about this seder,
and I invite you to think of that now, is
is there anything in your own life
you're trying to move towards freedom with.
- My favorite part was all the wine drinking certainly.
It's interesting. It's like a lot of fun.
It's just a lot of, like, tradition.
- So let's take the karpas, the spring vegetable,
and so we're going to mix the taste of spring and new life
with the experience of the pain of slavery.
- It's not too bad though, after having
the really sweet wine,
- like the saltiness is okay. - I know it cleanses the palate.
- [man on left] Yeah, it's just like a lot of fun
and interactive.
- Who's the youngest here at our seder table?
- That would be me. - [Rabbi] That's you.
Hey, excellent!
So, I'll ask it:
Mah nishtanah halaylah hazeh mikol halaylot?
- How is this night different from all other nights?
- Put the horseradish and the charoset
and make a little sandwich with your matzah.
'Cause if you want to keep in mind that in life
there's gonna be bitterness, and there's gonna be sweetness.
Right? You can't get one without the other.
- (mumbles)
- I'll take some more horseradish.
- Honey, you can have the whole bottle.
I mean it's like apple pie, and then ughhh!
- Horseradish pairs with nothing.
- No.
- So this is the cup for Elijah,
Eliyahu Hanavi, Elijah the Prophet.
- If he doesn't show up, do you like pour a little bit out?
- No, somehow magic-- - (mumbles)
- Give him a little hit.
- This is for the homies.
- Being around, like, people that I knew
and just enjoying their company, and kind of experiencing
a story and traditions that I wasn't really familiar with.
- The reading together was pretty fun,
and the songs kinda reminded me of elementary school.
It kinda made, like, the whole thing a little more special,
and I feel like I got closer to these people.
- I think that place of knowing that our stories
in each of our cultures are so important.
Our stories shape who we are, how we imagine our past,
and imagine our future.
Always teaches me more about my own tradition
when I get to share it with folks for whom it's new.
I think that last piece that really is about the seder
is let's try and make a world that's a beautiful place
for everyone to be, where we can all be free.
- This feels like Double Dare.
- Where is it?
- I found it!
I found it! I found it! - Nooooo!
- It was right here the whole time!
- You are not sharing. Well.
- Happy Passover!
