[HANASHIR:8809] Re: Orange on the seder plate

[ShirMidbar <ShirMidbar...>]

Joanna, please accept my gratitude to you for sharing the scallion/dayenu 
gambit.  For several years, my wife, Andrea, and I have led the first Seder for 
a family gathering of very close friends.  This year Andrea brought along a 
supply of scallions, and we explained what was to be done with them and when.  
It was a raucously funny and thoroughly acceptable addition to our service for 
all participants, and their ages ranged from a 4-year old sheyna to her 92-year 
old zayde.  The zayde was happy to note that something from last year's service 
was not repeated this year; i.e., somehow, so many of the family members 
accidentally spilled wine on the zayde that he thought a new tradition had been 
introduced.

Hag sameach v'shira,

Harry Higgins
