…and I’m having a pizza. But don’t worry, it’s kosher-style pizza. No, it’s not prepared under kosher dietary laws, no rabbi was watching, the bread’s not even unleavened.
Basically, I just feel really guilty about having it.
One thought on “First night of passover”

You should have had it two hours ago. Then it could be guilt free.
I work nights, so my family will often have dinner as early as 4:30 in the afternoon. I like to try and do something special to mark the holiday for the kids, but having them eat matzah before Passover actually starts seems to me to somehow wrong – like eating latkes for Purim or something. So instead we have an “anti-Seder”, where we go out to an all-you-can-eat Pizza Buffet, and gorge ourselves on all the yeast our bodies will need for the next eight days. It gives the kids something to look forward to, and also emphasizes the sacrifice we are going to make.
(Or as my wife calls it “Jewish Mardi Gras”. Of course, she actually like matzah pizza even better than the “real” thing.)
