It's the most wonderful time of the year!
This week we celebrate the Passover. This is my favorite Jewish holiday.
On this day we get to do one of my favorite things, which is to recount in great detail the suffering we have endured. Like all of those years we spent wandering in the desert.
Then we talk about how God smote down our enemies!
God sent ten nasty plagues out. First, the waters of the Nile turned to blood, then the frogs came,
Then everybody got head lice and he killed all the cows.
Then a little old-fashioned biblical pestilence, everybody's skin erupted in boils, a hail storm, the ever-popular plague of locusts, and then darkness fell across the land. Not fun stuff.
Oh yeah how could I forget the slaying of the first-born? That one didn't come soon enough.
What's not to love about this holiday?
