PESACH - YOUNG SHARONS


So here is a short movie of our pesach at my aunt's house.

In the begining you'll see Dori (the youngest child, not counting Amit) and two other young boys singing Ma Nishtana, as tradition requires (the youngest children at the table, ask how this night-pesach-is different from other nights, and everyone at the table answer). After that is a very wierd ceremony, where to the rythm of a song (dayenu), we hit eachother with onions. Dori took that very seriously, as you will see. If you look closely you will notice omer's goatie as well. Don't ask why the hitting with an onion is part of the pesach - as far as I know it only happens in my aunt's family, and they can't remember why they hit either....

Yeah, thanks Dikla! I guess we should hand out helmets next holiday, because I will be officially adopting this tradition. Others should adopt it as a means of self-defense.
