[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to observe Passover. It's one of my favorites. I haven't ever celebrated Yom Kippur or Rosh Hashanah, but I always felt those were more observed in Temple? Most years, Jewish friends invite me to a Seder, so I feel like I've been celebrating it all along. As a kid I liked the story of Passover a lot too.

My church has always had a Seder and I know my inlaws evangelical church (in an area with zero Jews) has Seders too. I prefer attending one at a Jewish friend's home though. I think the ritual and story is really interesting, I like how everyone participates in reading and love all the wine! Not Manischewitz, they can give that to the kids. There really isn't another holiday that's similar. [/quote]

Yom Kippur is observed (not celebrated) in Temple. Then some people do break fast at home; others do it at temple.

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated in Temple and at home.

Passover is mostly at home, at least when I was growing up.

Can you tell me more about what happens at a Church Seder? Do they tell the story of the liberation of Jews from slavery in Egypt, or is it a Seder centered around Jesus’s Last Supper? [/quote]

When I was growing up, we did them as a telling of the story of the liberation of Jews from Egypt, explaining the symbolism of the various foods, etc.  [/quote]

That’s so interesting! I had no idea Churches discussed that story and had Seders. You mean you had the whole Seder plate, with the shankbone and the egg and everything?

You learn something new every day. [/quote]
