My wishes to you for a Happy Passover. May you all find the Afikommen!
Happy Passover, students!
I just got back from a Passover seder run by Hillel, the largest campus Jewish organization. My husband and toddler daughter and I shared a lovely dinner with a table full of Colorado State University undergraduates. The guys at my table had a bit of a maror eating contest (that's horseradish, basically), and we traded recipes for matzah pizza. Oh, and my daughter found an Afikommen (well, the woman who hid it actually told us where it was).
There's something special about being surrounded by a room full of Jews on Passover, especially if you're away from home and missing your family. If you're Jewish and you haven't checked out the Hillel or Chabad (a more traditionally religious organization) on your campus, do so. Along with the religious functions of these organizations, they give Jewish students a home away from home, especially on campuses like mine where we are very much the minority.
I'm off to raid the kosher fruit slices in the cupboard that my mother sent me. Good yontif to all!
