We take Passover very seriously at the Jucker household, and by seriously, I mean we have serious fun and enjoy seriously good eats with a whole lot of family!
We’re also proud of our more recent familial history surrounding Passover. We just learned Sigmund, Sol and Max (the original three brothers) actually made the first matzos in the repatriation camp for all there who had been liberated.
If you don’t know, the Passover Seder is a Jewish ritual meal that marks the beginning of the holiday, Passover. I have cooked for a crowd of 50, in previous years, but this year I’m hoping for a quick, easy and fun Passover Seder! That’s right, someone else is hosting the seder and we’re using the 30-minute Seder Hagaddah that is jam packed with fun and with traditional Jewish Passover songs.
