•  What is your favorite part of the Pesach seder?

Elsewhere in the Blogosphere

  • A friend sent an email with an article by Walter Russell Mead about Jacksonian Zionists. A curious term, the article didn’t really explain. So I went online and found this article The Jacksonian Tradition by Walter Russell Mead.
  • Some good parenting ideas from teacher Ilana-Davita.
  • Jientje shows a real Belgium chocolate shop.
  • Rambling Woods talks lawns. In part two she has problems with a neighbor who “CAN’T HAVE DANDELIONS.” How would you respond?
  • Daniel reviews The Once and Future King. Word of advice to parents: if you are recommending this book to your kids, tell them to read The Sword and the Stone. You may not yet want your child reading about the triangle between Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot (voice of a parent who made this mistake speaking).
  • Jew Wishes found The Last of the Just by André Schwarz-Bart an enthralling novel.

Thanks a lot for the link. Good luck with both Shabbat and Pesach preparations. Shabbat Shalom!

I may post on Saturday evening and will try to post on Sunday before "closing down" for Pesach.

I hope you're not getting too overwhelmed by all the cleaning and cooking!

Shabbat Shalom and Chag Kasher V'Samei'ach to you and your family!

Overwhelmed? Nah. I have a plan... (how to get your family involved and have fun, too...)

"Shabbat Shalom and Chag Kasher V’Samei’ach " - yes, yes!

The crocus is a welcome sign of Spring! No doubt more so to those of you who've had such a snowed-in winter!

Check out the new Sunday Bridge meme.

The "Jacksonian Zionists" article was very interesting.

Shabbat Shalom

Louis, I wonder if anyone besides you will take the time to read the Jacksonian Zionists article. Glad you did.

I'm going to check out the bridge meme.

Leora,

B'H for kind people like yourself. It truly helps with what life is giving us right now. I know that this too will pass, but thankfully with your kind words to help along the way.
