Jen was so excited about her upcoming wedding. But before the tied her vows she had to celebrate Pesach. She asked her grandmother to help her make a Seder at her house for the whole family and Jake’s family. Jen hoped as their married life progressed they would host plenty of holiday dinners. She was an okay cook. But grandma was better.
She was especially looking forward to living in the Sukkah with Jake in the fall. She loved that holiday. Sometimes she wished she could live in her Sukkah year round.
The family had a wonderful time at her Seder. She purchased all of her food from the Kart.
Meanwhile, Anat was in tears that her grandmother was gone for several years and her special Seders were over. She didn’t have anywhere to go. Her parents never tried to carry on the Seders. And they probably would have yelled at her all night. So she cried and cooked for herself. She never had anywhere to go. It hurt when she heard all of her coworkers talk about their Pesach and Easter plans. She knew a loving family and friends weren’t meant for her. Why this happened made up her four questions.
Alana and Marc were together as usual in the Old City. Marc finished praying at the Kotel. Then the two of them just sat there clueless before walking to their rabbi’s for the Seder. The two still were never sure of their relationship.
Tzipora went to Eran’s parents for the Seder. He was going to her family the next day. On the way, she told him about her lifestyle. Eran was shocked. But not upset. He took it maturely. He said he accepted her. And would only be upset if she went with another guy.
Marc and Alana got up and decided it was time to go to the Seder. They weren’t late. They were never late for anything. They were taking in the beauty of the Old City. They heard a small child crying and ran toward her. She was all alone. She needed her parents. They asked her a few questions. She just sobbed.
Marc and Alana didn’t want her to be alone. They asked her where her Seder was. She said in the Old City at her Aunt Miriam’s house. That didn’t help them. The girl jumped onto Alana. A tear fell from Alana’s eye. She always wanted a little girl to dress in all black. Maybe not the best image for a cute little baby. But that is Alana. She held her. The girl stopped crying and asked if she could help them find Aunt Miriam’s house.
Naturally, Marc and Alana said, yes.
