Happy EVERYTHING!

BUT WAIT!

THERE'S MORE!

This year, the celebration of

Easter, Passover and Ramadan

all overlap with each other!

It's a HOLIDAY CONVERGENCE! 

BUT WAIT!

THERE'S EVEN MORE!

Today, April 9th, is also

National Unicorn Day!

Well, I can't very well end this post

on THAT unappetizing note, can I?

So let's just switch back to Easter and

hop down the bunny trail

with some fun memes featuring 

alcohol in one way or another.

Enjoy your SPECIAL DAY today,

everyone, no matter what it is!

Passover on the High Seas

Here's a bit of rollickin' good piratical fun

to celebrate Passover (March 27 to April 4)!

The Jewish a cappella group Six13 has joined 

the sea shanty bandwagon to sing a few

well-known sailing songs (with altered lyrics)

to celebrate the holiday and freedom! 

Love the kippah-yarmulke-eye-patches and 

spork-hand-prosthesis, LOL!

Passover

Passover begins at sunset this evening. In Jewish homes all over the world, the special meal will be eaten, the four questions will be asked and the four answers will be given.

I've only been to a Passover seder once. Many years ago in Winnipeg, I belonged to a lesbian spirituality group. A Jewish member and her partner hosted a beautiful Passover seder for us. They prepared a feminist, Goddess-based hagaddah in accordance with which we ate, drank, read and were blessed. It was a vegetarian meal so we didn't eat an actual lamb shank but had tofu instead, if memory serves correctly. My old friend Manischewitz was there as well. And of course, we played "hide the matzo" too.

This is the cup of Miriam, the cup of living waters.

Blessed are you, Shekinah, Source of Life, who gives us living waters.

Shalom, everyone!
