look it up
In summary, the Jews were in Egypt for 400 years and at one point had to go through tough Labor. One day a boy was born but the pharaoh was afraid a boy would overthrow them so the baby boy was casted down the river in a basket. The princess found the babe and named him Moses. It has something to do with the river. Moses grew up like royalty but he was actually a Jew. So when Moses accidentally whips a Jew to hard and kills him, he runs away. One day, while Moses is herding sheep, he finds a burning bush that is not burning the bush down. God tells Moses to free the news so Moses goes to Egypt and tells the pharaoh to let the Jews go. There were 10 plagues, blood, frogs, cattle disease, locust, hail, boils, and death of the first born. I’m too lazy to look up the order. Anywag, Moses finally gets Pharaoh to let the Jews go and the Jews have to flee quickly and don’t have time to make bread cause the pharaoh could change his mind any minute. So the Jews put grain on their back and made unleavened bread called Maztah. Now we in modern day spend a week eating unleavened bread, retell the story of leaving Egypt and yeh.

Yeh sometimes. I like it with chocolate spread. Others have matzah pizza, but I never had it. Different Jewish groups have different traditionz

Finally we have a Jewish holiday discussion… 
Chag Sameach to you too, Bexs 
. And that’s fine.
Now that you said it, I would like to share that since my family were Jews who were a part of the Jewish community in Ethiopia, men from the community who wouldn’t eat meat on Passover, their children wouldn’t eat too. So my mother doesn’t eat meat and chicken on Passover (except for chicken in the Leil Seder).
Btw, good weekend

Shabbat shalom! On one side of my family we have red hard boiled eggs but on the other side we use romane lettuce for the first sandwich thingy and we would dip parsnips in salt water

That’s interesting 
. Btw, I remember you said that you’re an Ashekanzi/Sepharadi Jew.
Can I ask, are you going according to Ashkenazi custom or Sepharadi one?

One Seder is normally Sephardic and the other is ashkenazic but we aren’t reallly doing it that way due to socia distancing. We ended up seeing both families on one night

Nice. In case you study (or studied) on a Jewish school, do (did) they teach Hebrew?
Um in 1st and 2nd grade they tried to but I hated being Jewish so I’m not the best reader or writer, but I still read a bit. You?
