Personal Pesach Posek
How the Sadducees, the Sanhedrin, and Sweet Brown led Ryan and me to a observe a seven-day Passover holiday.

Passover and Stay Awhile
What a difference a year makes. Last year I was Passoverwrought. This year, I saw Pesach coming–and happily counted the days.
Passoverwrought
Plan all the phoney matzah meals you want, or avoid it completely and subsist on permitted meats and quinoa. No amount of advance planning will take all the sting out of observing Passover. Nor should it.
