Ooooh, I want a double feature of
The Ten Commandments and
Prince of Egypt!
My unconventional seder features clips from both, btw. And though my family kept Kosher for Passover (but not regularly Kosher) when I was growing up, I have eschewed that restriction. So we drink palatable wine (and lots of it ... 4 glasses per person are proscribed!!). And we feast on foods that are not necessarily Kosher for Passover.
We've combined the 2 halves of the seder into one long, pre-feast segment ... because we've found over the years that no one's really into more seder after a lot of wine and tons of food.
Oh, and I've designed and manufactured a custom Haggadah (
the guidebook, if you will, to the seder) that's, if I do say so myself, a work of art - with imagery taken from various Haggadahs I've liked, but mostly from a 14th Century Manuscript of surpassing gorgeousness.
Oh, and as I said, we pepper our seder with film clips from
The Ten Commandments and
The Prince of Egypt. To my mind, the purpose of the seder is to communicate the story of to new and succeeding generations ... and I feel video is a recently-concocted way to fulfill that mandate for future humanity.
As such, our seder is a multi-media folk traditional extravaganza of music and joy and carousing and feasting. It's wonderful. And yikes, Gemini Cricket practically talked me into throwing one together for this year.
Anyone interested???
