Your Passover Traditions

Do you and your family celebrate the holiday in a unique way?

For example, do you include a "Freedom Plate?" as part of your seder?

We have yet to do that, though my cousin reenacted the exodus from Egypt — backpack and all — much to her grandson's delight!

My gentile husband and I live in Denver. Strangely enough, most of our friends are interfaith like us. So, about six years ago... in the absence of family and a regular Seder invitation, I started what would become our family Passover tradition -- the Interfaith Seder. I invite only interfaith couples and their children (unfortunately, we need a new house now). I try to make the Seder interesting and interactive. I've bought a variety of Hagaddahs, one being a Feminist Hagaddah, which has a very strange version of the plagues (i.e. menstruation). I use a Dr. Seuss version of the four questions and a Woody Allen-esque play for the telling of the Passover story. Everyone gets a part and it's pretty hilarious. I also try my best to take something that's going on currently in the world and tie it in to Passover themes of slavery, freedom, redemption, etc.
