So you're you're encouraged to approach Passover in different ways.

You know, in my Seder, you know, the idea is like we were slaves.

We were strangers.

We got free.

We better fight for everybody's freedom.

you take off Brad uh I went to St.

Louis to see my folks uh now we did do a Seder there but uh days uh well no I didn't I don't think I took any days off of work really but I did four Seders uh over the course of the holiday you're like two is the you know is the is the commandment but

There was a downtown Seder at City Winery.

There was a Seder in the streets with Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, and then two family Seders.

I don't begrudge anyone their trips to the country.

Actually, the way the holiday works, technically, if you're observant, is the first two days and the last two days are what's called Chag, like the time when you're supposed to follow the commandments, not drive like you do if you're observant on Shabbat.

But the middle days are called Chochamod.

And those really are just like spring break.

That is like observant Jewish spring break or the middle days of Passover.

One other way you know it's great Jewish city is that this is helpful that Passover and Easter line up.

But it's also the school spring break.

And so, yes, everybody that can.

Yeah.

They line up spring break here to try to help make it happen.

That's nice.
