I heard that Shia Lebeouf call himself an ethnic Jew...or maybe it was cultural. Anyway, what does that mean?

Hey, anyone got tips for celebrating pesach with some goy friends? No car (see AWOL) = not able to go home. Plus, uh, I like celebrating with friends on campus, even if they're not Jewish. >_>

1. Remember that only a Jew is permitted to eat the Afikomen. Afikomen is what stands in for the korban Pesach (Passover sacrifice), which only Jews are permitted to eat, so likewise only a Jew may eat the afikomen.
2. Passover is about a particular event to a particular people, but it doesn't have to be only about particularism. Remember that it is about the universal need for freedom. "No dictator... No invader... Can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the Universe, than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments, and tyrants, and armies, cannot stand. Though it take a Thousand Years. We. Will. Be. Free." -- Citizen G'Kar, Babylon 5 Try to impart this lesson of universalism even during the teaching of 'particular' things.
3. Don't try to read the Hebrew. It is obligatory upon a Jew that he should understand what he is saying, so just stick with the English translation until you've taken some Hebrew. G*D understands English, too.
4. Don't try to hold a Seder yourself if you've never held one. Go to a community Seder if you can find one. It's WAY better with an experienced Seder crowd, and they'll help you as you stumble (as I still do).

I should check the calender to see if the reform synagogue is doing a Seder, it might be interesting. However, I'm still really nervous about putting myself out there. Know what I mean?

Kingpin, don't be nervous. The great thing about a seder in any community setting -- unless it says specifically "for members of X-synagogue only" -- is that they expect to play host to a lot of people who know what they're doing, but who do it differently from the host-community; and a lot more who don't know much of anything except that they're interested in attending and learning.
The entire seder is designed to make people ask questions, so go and observe and ask questions. You'll be very popular with those who do know something and are excited to get to share it. smile

Usually my mom has a Half-breed Seder the first night then we go to my aunt's house for the second night, but her Seder isn't exactly a Traditional one.
(Hell! BOTH Seders aren't traditional.) We add things. ninja
My dad reads for both nights. well, we all read. I was the youngest for the longest time at my aunt's Seder. (That's over now. sweatdrop )
However I'm still the youngest at my mom's Half-breed Seder.

): I don't get to buy matzo or any other type of Passover food, and I can't get rid of the leavened stuff on campus. No car = can't go anywhere for seder, and bleh. I'll still do my best to impart the lesson of the Exodus on my friends.

Well, I was the surprise at my Aunt's Seder last night.
(For my parents mostly.)
I am now back at my apartment (waiting for the RA to inspect -_-; ).
When I read from the Haggadah I read the part about when
Moses was found in the reeds, and that's the very scene I portrayed in the Arena of Avatars. O_O

Are wraps an acceptable substitute for bread? Are French fries and pasta allowed?
If not, I'm in trouble.
