Spike the horseradish with scotch bonnet peppers and watch Uncle Morty turn red and choke when he eats the morror sandwich.
Tape the afikomen to the underside of the toilet lid and listen to the kids scream in horror.
Float fake eyeballs in the hard boiled egg water bowl before it gets passed around the table.
Pay your cousin $10 bucks to loudly announce that she is pregnant by the paper boy right in the middle of everyone singing Had Gad Yoh.
So many many ways to spice up the old seder. Ah, I miss the old days when the whole family got together to celebrate Pesach. |

You oughta come to the talk, ESL!
I've known Murray for a while. He and I sing together in Harmonium. He's a guest, i.e. he's not a member of the congregation. I think Murray doesn't know how to say things that are not funny. That's what kind of guy he is.

1) Make a big dish of matzoh charlotte
2) Serve chilled
3) Have an ambulance on standby
4) Alert the county morgue
***Important*** Have a burial plot picked out for "lucky" guests. And do the right thing here: have them fill out an organ donor card after you hang up their coat.
Oh I'm sorry. What am I thinking about? Scratch the organ donor thought. I forgot that Matzoh Charlotte immediately spreads deadly toxins throughout the entire body. |

You should come, sbenois. I'm not sure, but this guy may be almost as funny as you are.

Finally, someone else has reached the zenith of sbenois' enemy list. Should you not want to remain there, Tom, I suggest you change the above sentence to "This guy may be I'm not quite sure but may be almost as funny as you." |

I wasn't hoping to deceive! I merely made the recommended change.
wendy, some of us get MOL messages emailed to us when a thread is updated and we previously posted a message on that thread. It's convenient. It's an option in your profile. That's how sbenois was able to quote me.

I know Murray too, at least I think it's the same Murray because he's a member of Harmonium. I even went to one of Murray's seders many years ago. They indeed have wonderful, imaginative seders. |

Yes, it's definitely the same Murray.

The Congregation meets at St Paul's? We have come full circle. |

We have been without our own building since it was founded in 1994. We recently bought a building in Summit. Renovations will take a while.
Lots of Jewish congregations meet in churches, Joe. It works out fairly well, since the church and the synagogue don't usually need to worship at the same times.

A building is mere edifice, organized religion mere artifice. The Divine is within you. Seek bravely there, and you need no other device.
Go in peace.

I get it, Tom. I was just musing regarding the circularity of it all. St Paul (Saul of Tarsus) was a Jew and probably super-charged his own Seder once or twice. |

Ooh, Tom, I'll be there. think Murray has any Matzoh Charlotte recipes?? I've heard that mine might not be the best, (I disagree, but I also digress.).
I've recently started attending a seder where we throw lettuce leaves at each other during Had Gad Yor.
Multiple types of charoset, multiple types of wine. YUM. |
