I mean, Christianity is part of our history and freedom of religion and all that.

Wow. All of that is in the Torah?!? Who knew?

Like you know what is in the Torah, trumpy! LOL.

You’re the one who brought up what you want to do. Own your idea! Take pride in it! Funny you mention Trump because he’d love your celebration—I can imagine him, Jarred and Ivanka doing the blood Orange Jell-O shots in Florida.

Happy Passover!

Read what you wrote... If that’s not psychotic, I don’t know what is.

Yes they can, but this PSA assumes that Christians acting in good faith would want to know that the "seder" they are hosting presumably in an homage to their perceived Jewish roots, is actually quite offensive to a lot of Jewish people.

And one might also asume that Jews might care to know that is offensive to categorize the majority of Christians as the type who do or would do this. To equate a simple Passover prayer and meal as "holding a Seder" is offensive.

When it comes to hosting a seder, yes they can. If you like it, go. If you don't, don't.

Then Jewish folks don't have to go.

Did anyone categorize the majority of Christians here? No; they did not. You might want to ask why you need to turn this into something about the persecution of Christians. (What is a Passover Prayer and meal? Is it something like breaking unlevened bread in memory of Jesus’s sacrifice as the Lamb of God? Hmm.)

So you want to conduct a Jewish ceremony that alienates Jews?

Based on this thread, a lot of Jewish people believe Passover doesn’t exist in Christianity. Despite many people explaining that the exodus story is completely separate from Easter, they insist that Christians are wrong about what’s written in the Bible. In thread asking for religious sensitivity, that’s especially ironic.

If Jews are worrying about this instead of all of the real problems and issues that the Jewish community faces, consider yourselves lucky.

Jesus actually isn't mentioned in my church's Passover meal. It is a reading, a prayer of thanks for God's mercy, and a simple soup supper open to all, including those in true need of a meal. Look who is making the assumptions, HMM?
