Pesach highlights, in chronological order:
1. Having the best Rabbi ever- who says you don't need to cover anything! not the stovetop, counter, or sink!
1. Walking down Emek Refaim at 5:30 erev Pesach and being able to hear a pin drop... thats how quiet it was...
2. Being at the Bittons and experiencing a "sefardi" seder. Luckily they were nice to us and didn't sneak any kitniyot into the food. Yaakov and I were mesmerized and perhaps a bit obsessed with their charoset, which uses dates instead of apples.
3. Ayelet staying up for the whole seder and singing Mah Nishtanah- hows that for a non-religous gan?!
4. Keeping 1 day of yom tov (I just had to rub it in...) the only thing I missed on the second day was that Sefardi charoset.
5. Eating out at Burgers Bar.
6. In a makolet, seeing people who don't look the least bit observant make sure the ices were "kasher l'pesach".
7. Driving an hour on the highway and along the way seeing at least 50 cars pulled over just to take a random hike somewhere.
8. Spending Shabbat in Ramat Eshkol and succeeding in looking Chardei! (minus the Banana Republic belt).
9. Taking tiyulim with my family! (That includes husband, daughter and cousins!
10. Surviving Pesach without eating one egg kichel (no such thing here!) or matza pizza (couldn't find tomato sauce without kitniot)!!!!
