The boys really got a chance to show me how much they learned in Hebrew 
School. I wouldn't have been able to pull this Seder off without their help. I asked them what the most important thing about Passover was and their answer was the wine. When I asked them for a more significant meaning, I got various factual replies about freeing the Jews from slavery. The spiritual answer I was looking for is that Passover reminds us about freedom. We should not allow ourselves to be slaves to our fears and personal limitation.
So, what's on our Seder plate? You know about the parsley, Charoset, and horseradish. My cookbook suggested grapes and olives to replace the lamb shank with a scriptural reference. That red thing is an egg with silly putty in it. I just wanted something fun!

Charoset - From the Jewish Vegetarian Year Cookbook
Stuffed Kishke (knish) - From the Jewish Vegetarian Year Cookbook
Both of these were EASY. 4 out 5 in my house liked it. That's a good rating! Both make good left overs. It's the first time I made either and they both turned out well. I will be looking at the other recipes in this book.
Matzoh Ball Soup in Vegetable Broth.
Boiled Chicken - my husband and William insist, so I boiled it seperately and added it to theirs after.
This was plenty of food for us. We were very informal. I am usually to unorganized to do stuff like this. The Vegetarian Cookbook helped for my last minute planning (which began this morning) because The ingredients were things I mostly keep in the house. Made it easy!
Scott read the four questions in Hebrew. I can't even do that! He is so excited to be able to do that for us.
After they ate, they searched for the Afikomen. They searched high and low. David and Scott found it. The Seder doesn't end until the children find the hidden piece of matzo in return for a prize. The prize was Silly Puddy for each and some chocolate.
Last of all is a photo of the knish. Photographing food I prepare really isn't my thing, but I thought this recipe came out really cool. I hope you enjoyed learning about Passover through our eyes.
