Once the Seder is over (or two Seders, if you’re traditional), you have a week of Passover to navigate. You’ll eat a lot of matzah. You’ll get really creative with matzah pizzas, matzah lasagna, and matzah nachos. It’s like a carb Olympics. You’ll crave a sandwich so badly you’ll dream about it. That’s normal. Just promise me you won’t sneak a croissant in the bathroom. We’ve all been tempted; resist the darkness.
Use this week to reflect on the freedom thing. Passover is about liberation—from slavery, from Egypt, from bad attitudes. It’s a story of hope. So, while you’re crunching through your fifth matzah of the day, ask yourself: what do you need to let go of? Maybe it’s the leftover baggage from winter. Maybe it’s a grudge. Or maybe it’s just the last slice of sourdough. Be free, my friend. And eat another matzah ball.
So, that’s it. Passover is a cocktail of history, food, and chaos. Embrace it. Laugh through the bitter herbs. Sing badly at the Seder. Hide the afikoman like a treasure. And when the week ends, run to the nearest bakery for a bagel. You’ve earned it. Happy Passover!
