We had a family seder last night, as we do each Passover, and we recited the hope of 'next year in Jerusalem' and the children asked the 'four questions' and we drank the wine and we enumerated the plagues and we dipped the parsley in the salt water and ate the matzo with bitter herbs and thanked God for our 'deliverance' or rather for the deliverance of our ancestors from Egypt - and then we 'partook of the repast', a huge 5 course meal, and we sang the songs of Pesach and we basked in the knowledge that we were continuing a tradition that goes back many centuries - and we felt good.
