[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh who cares!! As a Jew, I’m delighted for anyone to host whatever they want. Just let me know what I can bring. We all need more warm events with family/friends. [/quote]

I am with you pp!  More celebrations and inclusiveness.

Op. Just mind your own business and spend less time scolding what others do.  And I say this as someone who does not hold a seder.[/quote]

It’s not inclusiveness to claim that the Passover seder (which is a Jewish religious ceremony) is actually a Christian religious tradition. I’m surprised so many people have a hard time understanding this. Given the history of oppression of Jewish people by Christians, it’s clear why many Jews would be pretty sensitive about this. Inclusiveness would be a Christian making efforts at actual interfaith connections and being invited to attend a Jewish seder as a guest. Not claiming “Jesus was a Jew so Judaism is basically a lesser version of Christianity!” Plus - the Passover seder is theologically incompatible with Christianity. It’s about God’s protection of the Jewish people who await the Medsiah - whereas Christianity believes Jesus is the Messiah, the Paschal sacridicial amb. You already HAVE a holiday celebrating Jesus’s celebration of Passover and his role as the Paschal sacrificd ... it’s called EASTER. [/quote]
