It seems odd to be celebrating a Jewish holiday which commemorates Jews isolating themselves in their homes to avoid avoid dying from a plague, while we are isolating ourselves in our home to avoid dying from a different plague. But then again, perhaps recounting the story of the Exodis is just a good reminder of all that we have to be grateful for.
but here we are enjoying our first night of Passover supper,
complete with a Passover Seder plate and a wine glass for Elijah.
I have full confidence that this is what we will be doing every night through the 16th of April. After all, if a rag-tag group of ill-fed slaves could hunker down to survive 10 plagues followed by wandering around in a desert for 40 years, I am pretty sure Bruce and I will manage to get through this COVID19 pandemic, by isolating ourselves in our comfortable home
with a well stock fridge and cable TV.
