Question: Why is tonight different from all other nights?
Answer: Usually I would do anything to avoid this holiday: roll my eyes
And let myself be dragged to the Seder dinner, with a bad grace.
Tonight I am aching for that privilege.
We spill wine
To remember the plagues of our ancestors
Tonight
We have one of our own.
We toast
Next year in Jerusalem
Next year, together.
