$\"\"$ <\/a>A few of years back I admitted to being a \u201cbad\u201d Jew and hosting less than polished Seders.<\/a> However each year we have a Passover Seder, a special ritual dinner where we tell the story of the Jews flight from Egypt. Seder comes from the Hebrew word for order, referring to the order of the ritual. I always hope that like in most things, it\u2019s the thought that counts.<\/p>\n

You know who are some awesome Jews? Cass (Yickezkale) and Nellie (Nechama) Foster. These guys aren\u2019t \u201cbad\u201d, they\u2019re Orthodox. They\u2019re some hardcore, boxing up pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc. keeping Kosher folks. That also means they were hosting what could politely be called marathon Passover Seders. 50 or more dinner guests were attending Passover Seders that would last 3 or 5 hours.<\/p>\n

Cass Foster, known for having written \u201cSixty-Minute Shakespeare\u201d plays was soon jokingly, or not so jokingly, being asked, \u201cWhat about a Sixty-Minute Seder?\u201d And so the \u201cSixty-Minute Seder: Preserving the Essence of the Passover Haggadah\u201d by Cass (Yickezkale) and Nellie (Nechama) Foster was born.<\/p>\n

The Haggadah helps guide you through the Passover Seder and there are tons available with loads of different focuses; ranging from feminism to children. \u201cSixty-Minute Seder\u201d is traditional but simple enough to follow that even a below Reform level Jew can follow what\u2019s going on. It also has recipes, and you all know how I love recipes!<\/p>\n

With Passover in just a couple of weeks, now may be the time to consider taking a new Haggadah out for a test drive. Perhaps this will be the year you\u2019ll have a \u201cSixty-Minute Seder\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
