[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“A Christian Seder absolutely involves inserting Jesus into Jewish traditions. That’s the entire reason it’s offensive.”

All of Christianity is about inserting Jesus into Jewish traditions. He was a Jew. Just because you find it offensive doesn’t mean others cannot practice their religion however they choose to. [/quote]

Yes you CAN. But should you? Do you care about being a good ecumenical friend?

It's cultural appropriation 100%.

To be blunt, Christians took our holy books (the Tanak) and called it the "Old Testament." They grabbed what they wanted -- the Ten Commandments -- and discarded what they didn't want -- circumcision for example. And then they persecuted us for centuries for practicing our religion, so that many Jews had to convert to survive, or practice in secret.

If you want to show solidarity with Jews, celebrate Passover WITH Jews. Don't take this very important holiday and turn into a Christian event. It's not. Jesus wasn't at a seder.[/quote]
