Dealing with Being Jewish

Its that time again. Time to dream about bread and watching matza crumble between your fingertips. If you find yourself in a seder follow this Jew's guide to passover.....

1) The more you suffer the better.

I have had this theory for years, that Rabbis and adults like to watch you suffer because jews way back when did, thus creating balance.

2) The more gibberish the better.

I am sure that most jews can't read hebrew and cannot correct you on your pronunciation or if you are saying real words. The family will be impressed that you have a general knowledge, or not, of hebrew.

3) Know the story.

Yes, I do know the story, but if you forget, here is my general tip for rememberance. Just memorize this line for all jewish holidays. The jews had adversity, overcame adversity only to have more adversity to overcome yet again.

4)  Complement the chef and cooking.

I dont care if the food bounces or inedible, the last thing you want is a big argument to break out between everyone and you being stuck in the middle.

5) Have fun!

Passover is a time for celebration and remembrance. It is a time for family and cheers and we can all manage one reunion per year. Reflection on your accomplishments and overcome your obstacles free yourself like the Jews escaping from wherever.
