Passover extravaganza

What an evening! Our Seder last Saturday was easily the most memorable evening of my gap yah, exceeding all expectations. In addition to my immediate family, Mr. And Mrs. Goodyear, Jy, Gabe, John, Pete and Chris, Maddox and Mrs. Maddox, Gail, David and Ann, Barry, The Stoll Mesa's, and of course Sylvia and Bill were all in attendance ... That's 22 for the mathematically inclined! The dinner was sublime and the discussion spirited (though little mention of politics, unfortunately) -- for those familiar with the personalities present, just imagine the dynamic. Even designing a table large enough to accommodate the crowds was a feat in and of itself. And for the first time in the history of our Seder's history, we actually completed the service. Who would have ever thought that such a large, predominantly Gentile crowd would be so conducive to the pursuit of Judaism. I sure hope we all return as we pray for "next year in Newport."
