One Vogue editor reflects on celebrating Passover in the time of COVID-19.
Let me preface this by saying that since I was a small child, Passover has always been slightly triggering for me. Every Jewish family has their own traditions when it comes to the annual re-telling of our exodus from Egypt, a lengthy ordeal—40 years wandering in the desert!—that remains a lengthy ordeal, especially for my family.
So it was sort of surprising to hear the lack of enthusiasm in his voice when I suggested we sign onto a Zoom call tonight at 7 p.m. with my sister and her children in Chicago to do an abridged seder that prioritized social distancing. “Yeah...I’m not really into that idea,” he replied. . My husband and I physically tried to stop him from leaving the safety of our home in upstate New York while he was visiting for the weekend, before New York and then Philadelphia restricted movement and enforced isolation orders. But he refused to shelter-in-place with us; as I am 33 weeks pregnant, we told him that if he left, he couldn’t come back. I cried. But he left anyway.
