A Social Media Passover

While I spend the day with my family and go to another Passover Seder this evening, I wanted to share something different. Aish.com made a great Google Exodus video about what it would have been like if Moses had Facebook. They really went all out creating this one using a lot of technology and social media.

Hope you enjoyed. What was your favorite part of this creative piece?

Photos of my Passover celebration coming soon.

Happy Pesach 5771

Yes, the time has come. Ready or not, Passover begins tonight at sundown. TechyDad, NHL, JSL, and I will sit down with family for the first Seder of 5771. It is a chance to retell the story while reading our Haggadah. This is a time where our boys will see the traditions that have been passed along for generations.

While looking for something fun to share, I found this really great Passover song all about the Seder symbols.

To all of my family, friends, and readers that celebrate Passover – Chag Sameach.

Previous Passover posts can be found here – lots of fun over the years.

You Can Catch Me There – April 17, 2011

Did you know that April is National Poetry Month? It is! To celebrate, I have been combining my love of Disney and education together at The Disney Driven Life. First I wrote about acrostic poetry, and now cinquain. Do you know how to write a cinquain poem? It is really fun and easy. My son even helped write one for my article.

I also shared the following book with everyone:

Mouse of Zen

Yes, a member of the Disney Driven Life team has published a book of Disney inspired haiku. More details about that in my cinquain article.

So what is your favorite type of poem? Please let me know and be sure to stop by the DDL to say hello and share one of your own poems.

Nursery School Passover Seder 2011

Dear JSL,

This week you had a big celebration at nursery school. Your class and the others, have been working to prepare a special Passover Seder for families to come and celebrate. When I arrived the room was all set. Everyone had a Seder plate set in front of their seat along with a Haggadah. The front of the room was also beautifully arranged with a giant display for the holiday.

Passover Seder Time

Everyone participated in the Seder – kids, teachers, parents, and other family members. I brought the video camera and can not wait to see how some of the songs came out. You were still nervous about being in front of everyone, but I did see you singing the four questions a few times. When you came over to me, you were adorable.

Greeting me at the table

It was fun sitting together. We followed along with the Haggadah.

Following in the Haggadah

Then when the time came, you surprised me with your frog puppet

Mr. 4 eyed frog

I still wonder what plague got the frog since he has four eyes.  Of course you were not interested in eating the delicious kugel they made.

Amazing matzah kugel

You kept chowing down matzah and cream cheese. I have a feeling a lot of that is in your future next week.

Want some matzah?

Thank you again for sharing this special time with me. I loved being there with you and watching your love of Passover and our holiday shine.

Love,

Mommy
