I’m excited! Tomorrow, we will be hosting our first family Seder. “Wait,” you’re thinking, “Seder…that’s part of Passover. Isn’t that a Jewish holiday? Aren’t you a Christian?” Yes, yes, and yes. But several years ago, we became part of a Bible Study group that investigates the Jewish roots of our own faith and it has transformed our lives. It’s amazing how much more deeply you can understand Jesus and His teachings when you learn more about the Jewish culture and religion, particularly as it was in the first century when He walked the earth as an itinerant rabbi. {If that’s at all interesting to you, check out this link}
Anyway, for several years now, we’ve been attending a Seder Celebration at the home of some dear friends, during which we participate in the traditional readings and symbolisms while looking at how those symbols point to Jesus, our Messiah. This year, we decided to invite our families over and give it a go ourselves too. Fortunately, my mother-in-law {who has some background in all this since her dad is actually Jewish} is preparing almost all of the food…all I’m responsible for is picking up the scrumptious looking flourless chocolate cake I ordered from a local bakery. So, that gave Little Crafter and I plenty of time to focus our energy on crafting instead! Yay! Here are two things we made in preparation for our Seder meal.

This is great! I love both ideas! I am your newest follower and thanks so much for linking up to Made by Little Hands Monday! Also something that might be fun for your little guy are matzo pizzas, a piece of matzo, sauce and cheese and there you go!
Have a great day!
