Let's get into the granular Matzah crumbs:
We start at 6:30 PM and conclude by about 10:15 PM. The room is elegantly set with round banquet tables, beautiful linen, cutlery, glassware and table-side waiter service. You may find a few frogs hopping around the table; beware of plagues too.
We begin with food! Not all of it, but the first course is pre-set on the tables. It consists of two types of fish, delectable salads and an assortment of appetizers. We recite the kiddush and walla! you start eating.
While you eat, we sing your favorite Passover melodies, play a holiday game or two and share some insights about the holiday. Next, we do seder plate centers, with every patrcipant collecting their the items and learning about their purpose.
After the first course, we read a portion of the Haggadah, sing the 'mah nishtanah' and perform the seder rituals. There's a wonderful flow from start to finish and before you know it, we're a lively, inspired group, drinking wine and eating hand-baked shmurah matzah followed by the horseradish Marror.
Then comes the soup and delectable main course with brisket, stuffed chicken and delicious side dishes. Finally, we wrap up our meal with gourmet desserts and fresh fruit followed by the Afikomen and bentching.
Filling Elijah's glass is always a highlight. We stand in place as the children open the Synagogue doors while holding the holiday candles to welcome Elijah. A sense of holiness and serenity fills the room as we sing 'Eliyahu Hanavi' together.
A few moments later, we're all piling out the doors with memories to last a lifetime.
