That to me just seems wildly stressing.

I hate it so much because I'm the one everyone forced to do it... -_-

in my house my grandmother made it a game, she use to bake stuff for us to find, and her baking was amazing... (happy memories look)

Passover seems like a really cool celebration.

Do Jews mind if people who are not of the Jewish faith happen to be there? Like if a member of the family/community invited a friend who wasn't Jewish?

You should be alright. But it truly depends who you do it with.

actually you are suppose to invite someone who is a "stranger" to share you table on passover. We are telling the tale to the world on passover and making sure no one goes hungry on this day.

My rabbi and her wife tend to be fine with non-Jewish guests.

A joke. It was originally about Reconstructionists.

He is busy becoming the AVD of the world.

becasue evraim is a smart and thoughtful young woman. she s able to express her thoughts about Judaism quite well. She also seems to understand more than her branch of jewish thought, and is able to offer commentary while understanding more than just her point of view.

I'm quite busy too, but I'll try to remain somewhat active on the forums. Anyway, Ethel is correct in his assertion regarding Passover. We're supposed to welcome strangers.

I think he was referring to the later part of your sentence regarding Menassa Rabbeinu

i thought you answered it quite well.

Sweet. Now if only I had Jewish friends...

Note: I don't mean to say I want a Jewish friend solely to go Passover. However, it's a situation I'd like to change, mostly to have someone to talk about the Old Testament/Torah with.

The Old Testament, to me, seems like the really dark side of the Christian God. Maybe there's something I'm missing?

HA! Yes. Menassa will definitely be the AVD of the world! XD

You've come to the right place

I don't see HaShem as dark in Torah at all. Indeed you are missing something.

I don't recommend you call YHWH the "Christian god" around Jews. Just saying, man
