[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Jews who are fine with Christians holding a Seder, is it still fine if they don't use the Haggadah, but rather a Christian version that tells the story of Jesus?[/quote]

Just don’t say you’re having a Passover Seder. Call it something different.

It’s offensive to me—not saying all Jews, but me—to subvert a sacred ritual where we tell the story of our escape from slavery and impose Jesus on it.

this. I can respect the “who cares” position, but what people may not realize is that a “Christian seder” basically imposes Jesus into the ritual as the paschal sacrifice. This is basically Easter, but for some unknown reason, some Christians feel like there’s some reason to have a “Christian seder” in commemoration of the last supper instead of just calling it Easter.

Christians, if you are so curious about passover, there is likely an *interfaith* group in your town where you can attend a seder led by the Jewish community. or just make some Jewish friends and ask to be invited. [/quote]
