Since this is such a hectic time for the Perelmuter/Sufrin family (and of course I mean for the Rabbi…ChayaLeah gets to just lounge around this time of year), I’ve decided to do the kind thing and give them the week off.

But so as not to leave our devout listeners with nothing to tide them over until next week, and since our listenership has also grown substantially since last Pesach (I guess people really like me), we decided to do an edJEWcation Rewind and repost our two Passover episodes from last year.

Enjoy, everyone. We hope you’re having a wonderful holiday and avoiding the chametz. Two days down, six to go until I can have my Captain Crunch again!

Sing along with me…it’s the most wonderful time of the year…oh wait, wrong song, wrong holiday. However, I think most Jews would agree with the sentiment. Many OG’s (original gentiles) think that Jews’ favorite holiday is Hanukkah because of the gifts (awesome) and the gelt (disgusting), but au contraire, in our expert opinion, the titleholder and reigning champion for favorite Jewish holiday is Passover.

After all, who doesn’t like five-hour dinners where you lament the enslavement of your civilization? Sounds like the quintessential Jewish holiday to me!

But in all seriousness, for this episode, we decided to take a break from our regularly scheduled programming and talk about Passover, specifically one element of Passover: the Seder.

What is a Seder? Why is it so regimented? The importance of storytelling, the one plate, the five rabbis, the four sons, and a partridge in a pear tree. We cover it all on the episode*

Don’t forget to leave us a five-star review, share this with your friends, and do all the other stuff those other heathen podcasts ask you to do.

*Ok, I lied. We didn’t quite get through it all on this episode, so there will be a part two next week. Good thing Yom Kippur is only about six months away!
