[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another great quote from that WaPo article:

In the United States, some elements of Jewish culture have gone mainstream: Many people enjoy bagels and know a few Yiddish words. But the true value of the Seder isn’t the matzoh ball soup. Judaism isn’t just a bunch of cultural artifacts, it’s a living religion, with customs that are sacred to millions of people. To appreciate Jewish culture is one thing; to borrow the rites of a major holiday for a completely alien purpose is another. It disrespects the Jewishness of the seder — a painful irony for a festival that’s centered around the early days of the Jewish history of marginalization, persecution, even extermination.[/quote]
I’m the Catholic poster above who described the inauthenticity and shallowness of the few parish Seders (it feels wrong even calling these events a Seder). I also posted the Post article above.  I fully concur with everything the author of the article said.  I don’t know if I am going too far in calling Christian Seders antisemitic actions but it kind of feels that way right now.[/quote]
