I am grateful to the Almighty because I experienced a wonderful second seder at PJC last night.
I sat with many synagogue friends and enjoyed conversation with them. The seder progressed beautifully. There were no surprises. Everyone participated with joy. I read aloud and answered questions. I even said the Four Questions in Yiddish which brought me back to the time of my grandmother, Bubbie Hudel, when I recited the Four Questions in Yiddish at our seder for her. It was so different from what I experienced with the triad and I was so grateful for this. Because I am now attending community seders I have taken away all their power. This can't sit well with them.
However, it is my time now.
I told the Rabbi that I would not be in services today and I was sleeping late and taking some needed r&r. He said that if he were me he would do the same thing. I will see him Friday at the conclusion of Passover and Saturday for Yizkor.
I am grateful that I am no longer stuck. I have created space by making choices that are healthy for me. I approached the seders with an open heart and I am happy.
Thank you Almighty.
I am grateful.
