...a veteran Passover goyim like yourself some. But my story is about inviting over novices who've never tasted the stuff. And it really is mean trick to serve it to them.

Good secret for the matzo balls. My brother's secret was to make sure the lid was weighed down and the balls cooked in almost a pressure cooker environment.

And yes, I know that a lot of Christian churches are doing Passover dinners, but I really don't think it's quite the same as being invited to someone's home where questions can be asked, and the conversation can get deep and philosophical, and the meal feels like it's been cooked special for the diners. Where there can be jokes and laughter and just a warm feel to it all. After all, there were only thirteen at the Last Supper--very much an intimate, family dinner.

I feel that if someone of another faith really wants to experience Passover, they should go to someone's home, as the very name of the holiday evokes those who gathered together--families and guests--as the spirit of god passed over the marked houses. Feeling like you're part of the family for that night, a part of something special that's happening in that house, that's Passover.
