Seder Right Words
Chag Sameach everyone! We were so excited about our first Passover episode we decided to do it again!
We start out this episode answering a few listener questions like what are some good books about Israel and Judaism, go further into the matchmaking marriage process Chabad uses to marry off their kids, and what the heck made the Rabbi want to become a Rabbi in the first place?
Then, we get into the parts of the Passover Seder we didn’t get a chance to discuss last week. Why do car detailing businesses love Passover almost as much as Jews do, the ten plagues, how the Greeks influenced the Seder, and why we still end every Seder with the phrase “Next Year in Jerusalem” when, well, Jews can actually do that now!
I realized last week that I forgot to link to the high school basketball team parting of the Red Sea celebration, so here it is with my profoundest apologies (I live to disappoint).

Thank you once again for another great episode of wit and wisdom!
Many things resonated with me in the episode, but when Rabbi Perlmutter quoted Tom Lehrer’s “Who’s Next” I really knew I was in the right place. My father, a mathematician like Tom Lehrer, was a big fan and had many albums by that very acidly funny satirist (and I knew him also from his song contributions to the Electric Company on PBS!).
Here’s a performance.

His many songs are worth listening and laughing to 😀
Thank you Rabbi, Chaya Leah and Jay!
