@@ElizabethEatsLowCarb if it has a kosher symbol it's kosher. For passover it needs a separate "label" saying it's kosher for passover. Sometimes brands put entirely new labels for passover stuff so they're easily identified but some just add it to their regular labels so look out for that. The separate "label" shows that the equipment it was produced on was cleaned for passover and with some products the recipes were tweaked a lil to b kosher for passover. Good luck!!
Wow you both make me feel so welcomed into this community. This conversion journey has been beautiful, and your videos are a huge part of that. Thank you
I’m in an interfaith marriage. My husband is jewish but not very religious. His family lives far from us so we haven’t had a passover seder in years. This helps so much to have our first Passover in an authentic and respectful way so that our daughters can learn about that part of their culture. So helpful. Thank you thank you.
I was just thinking about adding family history and talking about memories of family we’ve lost. Trying to encourage the kids to ask questions, about our faith, and how our family got here.
I so enjoyed and appreciated learning about celebrating Passover. Rabbi Greenwald has an amazing perspective on being inclusive, flexible and improvising all while maintaining the solemnity and traditions of Passover. I love the part about it being acceptable for a vegetarian to use a beet instead of a bone (I’m vegan). And that if there aren’t any children around to find the broken matzoh that adults can do it and try to find some of their child within. I now understand why remembering by celebrating Passover is so important. It isn’t about being dogmatic and everything has to be 100% perfect by tradition or law, but it’s the remembering “because we were slaves in Egypt and now we are free.” I think it must have a lot to do with the attitude that these things are approached. Not and eh... that will get by, but a concern and respect for the tradition. Marion, thank you for having Rabbi Greenwald on to answer questions. Once again I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you for taking the time to open up and explain it to those of us who don’t know. Peace to you and your sweet little family. 💙💙
I found out about the Miller program through your channel! I joined the intro class and it was such an amazing experience. I’ve recently just finished the class after 6 months and I cannot recommend it enough! You will end that class with a better understand of Judaism, for sure.
My temple community is having a Zoom seder, I have ordered my ritual food. Looking forward to my first official Passover . As always, thank-you for you and your videos.
Matzah is great with egg (or egg and olive) salad, tuna fish salad or salmon salad. Even peanut butter and jelly works. Otherwise, we can still eat all kosher fruits, vegetables and meats. Not overly restrictive really. (And Matzah breis, fried matzah, matzah meal pancakes are all great breakfasts.) And I make a fruit compote to help with potential binding. I loved the teaching here. Todah Rabah! (Thank you very much!)
Loved the video, Marion! Enjoyed seeing Rabbi Greenwald as well. Funnily enough he actually oversaw my immersion for my conversion, he's a very kind man!
Greetings from the Philippines... thank you for your helpful videos about the jewish life sis. It is our 2nd year to celebrate Pesach. Shabbat Shalom❤❤
Thank you. I have not completed my conversion class because I cannot yet move to a Jewish neighborhood. I am observing as much as I can, though, and appreciate Rabbi’s helpful instruction. ❤️
Great video! I just wanted to say one thing.... As a conservative jew myself, I think you should let everyone know in your videos that you follow conservative Judaism specifically just for those who follow more strictly that should be aware that you are explaining the conservative experience. Keep up the great work!
I do talk about being conservative but I don’t feel the need to state it all the time as to me I don’t believe that Orthodox Judaism is somehow the correct movement and others are a deviation from that, so I don’t feel the need to continue to perpetuate that myth. I just share my life and my Judaism if that makes sense.
Rabbi Greenwald is a great person and I am honored to be in his course. In fact I just was searching for Passover information after we had this subject in the course.
AKA: "Zen and the Disciplines of Preparing for and Celebrating Passover" - it is so wonderful that you both emphasize the importance of practice, observance and not the necessity to get it right, correct. God is not going to come down and smite us for an error or omission. God wants us in relationship with him and moving toward closer communion with him, so would never punish the intent of loving observance, remembrance. One can also chicken-out and go to a seder held at a synagogue or celebrate with a friend who observes the holiday, while understanding that some parts of their observances will be tradition for that family and/or congregation and not de rigueur. It is good for us to remember to let loose our inner rabbi, teacher to embrace those at table who have chosen to be there and can be taught in that sharing embrace. We can all practice together at various stages of learning, like in the oldtime one-room schoolhouse that held and gave learning to all the community's students. And the best way to solidify learning is to teach. So this is a great way to have a child at table explain a coming action, ritual to others who may be new to it. (The big worry with the dog stealing the chicken bone is that they are not safe for dogs because they splinter.) There could not be a more important time to spread, share the joy, the word, the responsibility of freedom, liberation. And there may be children to Judaism or formal Jewish practice at table for whom the search is a treasure hunt. We are searching for the prodigal son and for the prodigal within ourselves. We have found so many new parts of ourselves in pandemic life. Thank you Rabbi and Marian.
Im trying to celebrate Passover on a budget. I'm American but through ancestry DNA I found out I have a mixture of Germanic Jewish I apparently have Jewish in my DNA but this would be the first time I have ever celebrated Passover
I LIVE WITH UNKOSHER GENTILES SO UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT KEEP THE PASSOVER. I PERSONALLY WILL NOT EAT ANY BREADS OR ANYTHING WITH LEVIN. I PRAY THAT GOD WILL FORGIVE ME FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE SEDAR AND KEEP PESACH
My rabbi has told me that we all must make what efforts we can. Certain Passover foods are different in different countries because some foods are just not available from one region to another. The important thing is to do your best to observe how you are able to. If your living situation is such that you cannot keep kosher, then do what you can! Perhaps eat milk and meat separately if you cannot control the dishes, pots and plates for example. If your family does all the cooking, there is no point in wasting food unnecessarily.
One of my ancestors was a Jewish women living in Germany I wish I could afford to know more but I can't right now. I've been trying to do what God told them to In the Bible
Wow nice customs for Passover ! 🥰 Marion , what do you think if you make a video about jewish perspective about Period or to what to expect if you're attend to a Synagogue ? ❤️ Btw you're a nice girl and your videos are very nice ! 💕
This is REALLY, REALLY helpful. Honestly I was feeling like maybe I’d just blow off Passover for a couple reasons. 1. I’m struggling with pretty intense depression and my functionality is not great. (I’m sorta new, a Jew rediscovering my faith after like 30 years functioning as a Christian. Just for some background) the other reason is that Passover is kind of traumatic for me. The last time I celebrated was 5 years ago when my dad and sister came to WA to visit. It was about a week before she killed herself, so to say the least, there’s baggage there for me.
I’m sorry that you have to go through this. I celebrated by myself and I quite enjoy it. It’s a special thing I do with God. I’m basically a messianic Jew.
There is No down side to living in Israel!!! My parents as kids had to sing leshana haba be yerushalayim and I just hop in the car and get there within minutes with my kids whenever we want. We r living, leaving the slavery, and being free!! People that don't live in Israel r missing the amazing feeling of walking breathing and living in the holy land. Whenever I fly anywhere around the world I can phisicaly feel the lack of the spiritual feeling that u can only get in Israel.
@@MyJewishMommyLife I agree -- have you ever tried to get cable tv hooked up in Israel! Wow -- crossing the Red Sea was harder! And, it's also true, that there are some wonderful and magical experiences that one can only have in Israel!
@@MyJewishMommyLife I have been living here for 42 years... Its all in how u look at things... Its kind of like organising an amazing party with great food and great music in a beautiful venue with amazing guest with beautiful flower arrangements and great entertainment... And u get upset because one of the waiters shoes r not polished. That is not a down side, that's a choice to get upset with things that r not that segnificant in the big picture. Israel is so much more than how lang it takes to get cable TV. Just my opinion...
Yes, maybe I missed something in the video or heard it wrong, because I too thought I heard Marion mention something about her not converting, and I was a bit confused. But now after a second hearing, I think what Marion meant was that she had not gone through a conversion process because she was born Jewish, so she didn't have the same perspective as a person going through conversion.
Passover starts on March 27 (evening) this year (5781) and goes for 7-8 days depending on where you’re at/what you celebrate. Israel and many reform communities celebrate 7 days. Most others celebrate 8.
As a Christian,I love to study other cultures! I just love this Rabbi!So kind ,super cool and so down to earth!
Love to hear that!
I can not thank you both enough. Genuinely.
You're so welcome!

So glad to have you in the Intro Program and for helping spread the word!!
Can you maybe do a video on how to plan your meals during the week of passover. It's my first time participating!
I’m a born Jew but this looks great !
Thanks! Yes I hope it's really helpful for anyone.
