The Seder at Brett and Lynda's Home

Grandpa and I were privileged to be among the 13 guests asked to take part in a Passover celebration in Brett and Lynda's home. Never have we been invited to sit at such an exquisitely-appointed table! Lynda has collected her special items from all over the world, including the Holy Land, and of course her expertise and knowledge come from her years of research and teaching Ancient Israeli Studies, specializing in Feast Days and Traditions.


Brett was the perfect right hand in helping all this to come about, including organizing the kitchen so things unfolded like clock-work, and attending to 3 large lamb roasts which came in from the grill, succulent and tender and seasoned just right.

It was an evening of much enlightenment and spirituality.

We were amazed at the attention shown to detail, both in the table settings and the script, which took over 4 hours of involvement, once we were all seated around the table.

Thank you, Brett and Lynda for offering this exquisite experience to us!
It was no surprise that your companionship produced something of the highest quality.

Grandma, you make everything look so beautiful! You have such a gift for this. Just yesterday (before seeing these posts), I told Brett "We've got to do something to encourage Grandma to start posting again." We simply cannot bear to see your talent lie dormant - or at least, not to be able to see everything you are doing.

You are our inspiration and light; we so much want to be like you. Certainly not only in your artistic abilities, but particularly in your "heart" abilities: the way you make each individual feel so loved, so heard, so precious. You have been a constant source of solace for us in dark days. We love you!

Thank you for doing this post about our Passover evening. It was such a joy to share with you.
