Spring is here! So is baseball, and Passover is almost over! While this article is appearing during Passover, I am writing it just after the Seders are done. I came across a poem about Seders to the tune of “Take me out to the Ballpark” that is perfect for spring. I must give credit to Miriam Aron of Hadassah who wrote this many years ago.

 

TAKE ME OUT TO THE SEDER  

Take me out to the seder 
Bring me four cups of wine. 

Put all the food on the seder plate 
Symbolically show what our ancestors ate. 

  All the girls went down to the river 
It's there where Miriam stood.
She dropped down the basket with Moses  And off he flew. 

  Then plagues came with a vengeance 
Blood and frogs and much more. 

Finally, we got permission to leave 
But Pharoah got frightened 
 He started to grieve. 

  So, he sent his servants to get us.
 A great miracle happened then. 
The walls of the water came crashing  On all Pharoah’s men. 

  Let's begin our own seder 
Tell the story in full 
Ask the four questions and we will sing  Avadim hayinu l’paroah b’mitzrayim. 

 Sing along with the songs and 
Join in reading the tale 
As together we see what happened
While traveling to Yisrael. 

 I hope you all had marvelous Seders and a happy holiday. Sisterhood is looking forward to our major event of the year for Torah Fund. Terri Hinds, VP of Torah Fund, is busy preparing a wonderful event that will take place on Sunday, June 1 at Kol Ami. More information will be coming your way about this event, but save the date so you will be able to join us.  I hope to see you all there.

B’Shalom
