As we continue to practice social distancing, here are new ways to commemorate the Exodus.
The Seder can be long, and young ones can get antsy or sleepy. Before the Seder, parents can help their children create wacky costumes representing the 10 plagues , or devise a fun Moses-versus-Pharaoh “Let my people go!” skit., a piece of matzo the Seder leader hides during the service. Zoom participants can arrange to hide theirs in the same place — under the children’s beds, for example. When all the children find theirs, make sure they all get the same sweet reward.
David Wolpe, senior rabbi at L.A.’s Sinai Temple, added his wisdom for this terrible time. “The first night of Passover was before the Israelites left Egypt,” he said. “They were frightened and did not know what would happen. “This year, we share their apprehension of the future and the uncertainty gnaws at us. But there will be a time of deliverance … . To the extent possible, enjoy the evening. Do not lose the moment in anticipation of tomorrow.”
