Maybe everybody is suffering from matzah overload?
Shalom, Rabbi. I hope that you're healing well.
I happen to be one of those folks who genuinely enjoys shmurah matzah and matzah brei. I also make an outstanding charosets and, this year, a really good brisket. Bottom line: no matzah overload for me.
We had a small seder and I chose to use the CCAR Haggadah. I found it to be a very nice addition to my library. I was a bit worried that some of the reading would prove challenging to my granddaughter, but she did great.
And, we've started a new tradition, a 'ritual' I picked up from my rabbi. Rather than setting aside a cup of wine for Elijah, we passed his empty cup into which each of us poured some of our wine. Ushering in a messianic age is a joint effort and a joint responsibility.
Take care, my friend. Moadim L’simcha ...
