so this weekend was the jewish holiday passover. It started technically on saturday at sun down and continues until sun down on sunday.  passover is the most interesting jewish holiday, i believe, and i really enjoy celebrating it with my family.  my mother’s side of the family is very fun to be around; we are a loud, fun loving family.  passover is the story of the jew’s escape from egypt and the power of pharoh.  this is a great story because it symbolizes the strength and courage the jewish people have for themselves and their freedom.  not to mention the food we consume on passover is delicious! since my family knows i am in college and live with 7 room mates, they always send me back to school with tons of food for my friends and i.  this year they sent me home with homemade macaroons, homemade fudge, macaroon crusted cheesecake, and my grandmom’s carrot fluff.  this year we also celebrated passover twice, which means twice the reading.  since my grandparents are divorced we saw my grandfather and step grandmother on saturday and my grandmother and her family on sunday. it’s fun being bi-religious.
