Photoessay #2896 - Seder this year?

Naomi, Dennis and I pondered what to do for seder this year.  Skipping it didn't seem to be an option.  We could have it ourselves, I'm not opposed.   But Naomi pointed out that we didn't have enough of a Jewish community to do it ourselves.  We needed more Jews and we didn't have them.

Naomi wanted to be invited to somebody else's seder.  That has  happened before; we went to Joline's one year and that was fun.  But, again, no promising candidates.

A community seder?  A communal seder usually put on by a congregation the second night.  Kol Haneshema is having one.  Dennis likes them.  In West Seattle.  More traditional than you might think.  Has a large following in LGBT community.  Yes, we can sign up for it.  West Seattle is a push but we could do it.  It's catered not cheap, you still have to bring wine and a pesach dessert.  We agree, we'll do that.

Pesach desserts are usually dreadful.  Naomi collects some recipes and we go down to U
Village QFC.  We buy a package of matza cake meal.  Decide to make the apple cake recipe on the package.  Buy some kosher for passover grape juice.

Hmmm, think I can score an invite to this seder?  At the white house?  They're flicking their fingers for the plagues, I can tell.

I have learned over the years to never attend a non Jewish based seder.  Some Christian groups like to have them but I (and my family members) have found them condescending and inappropriate.  As in, isn't this quaint?
