[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an Orthodox Jew and I don't mind at all if non-Jews want to make seders for their own families. I find it strange and I don't see value in it, but I don't mind or take offense. If I was going to bother taking offense to Christianity, it would be for the supersessionist sentiments which are far more widespread than makeshift seders.

I am actually happy when non-Jews buy our kosher for Passover products for random reasons, such as wanting cane sugar instead of corn syrup or gluten-free cookies. More demand will mean these products will become more widely distributed and more affordable over time. So that's a win win.[/quote]

Aww...this reminds me of my dad, who absolutely loved matzoh and would buy boxes and boxes of them.  I...did not understand.[/quote]

Ha!  I was about to share about my dear Irish mother who also loved matzoh. She’d have it buttered with her tea :).  [/quote]
Orthodox PP. A lot of my non-Jewish friends love matzah. I used to hate it, but it has grown on me. Especially as I have grown older and had to become more conscious about my calories, I appreciate that matzah has a lot fewer calories per square inch of surface area than bread.  A matzah pizza does much less damage than a real pizza  :) [/quote]

I'm also Orthodox and I eat matzo pizza year round. I love pizza with thin crispy crust and it's hard to get crispier. So glad our minhag is to eat gebrokts!

By the time we get to the Hillel sandwich at the seder, though, it's sometimes enough matzo. Depends on how thick the matzo is. Last year due to Covid we couldn't get our usual Lakewood hand matza and [b]had to use store-bought and it was like eating corrugated cardboard. Expensive corrugated cardboard. [/b]We got from Lakewood again this year, though.[/quote]
Nice to meet you here. Not many of us, but a few  :) [/quote]

That's grandma says..  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  are we related?[/quote]
