"Drowning
in The Sea"
When I was six years
old, at the beach, sitting on a sandbar, I was pulled into and submerged
in the water. I wasn't afraid, though. I saw in my mind's eye a farmer,
chasing after animals. Looking back, I realize that I had been in danger
of drowning, but at the time, I was not afraid. I was watching cartoons!
Why this week?
The festival of the Seventh Day of Passover celebrates the Crossing of
the Reed Sea by hundreds of thousands of Jews [who survived…and tens
of thousands of Egyptians who didn't.]

"The First
Passover Seder Ever in Ho Chi Minh City"
The young couple
arrived in Vietnam in April 2005, with no language skills and almost no
Passover provisions, due to strict baggage allowances. They had five days
to find a venue, set up a kosher-for-Passover kitchen and prepare a festive
meal for 75 people.
Why this YEAR?
First Seder on Saturday night, as in this year as well as that year, happens
relatively rarely in the Jewish cycle of holidays.
