[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonder how many Jewish men dropped the ball on Passover this week? [/quote]

Not really apples to oranges. Traditionally making a Seder and just about everything else with at home observance is the woman’s sphere as a religious matter. And Passover isn’t a one day thing, it involves days of not weeks of cleaning and special preparations. I’m sure one could manage to half-ass it, but if you’re already agreed as a family that you will do it, you kind of have to agree on the extent to make it work.

And then leading it is the man’s job usually. So for a husband to be on board with all the prep and religious aspects then flake on leading would be comparable to what OP is saying I guess, but it would be pretty big deal, not just “oh my husband didn’t help get some candy.” He’d be abdicating his religiously prescribed role altogether, and if that is so, seems odd he’d have been on board with doing Passover in the first place. I guess it must happen sometimes.  [/quote]
