DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT JEWISH 

I decided yesterday I’m gonna host my own passover this year.  I think I really like tradition and ceremony.  There is something about getting together with people with a greater purpose than to watch a movie or eat.

We have a great group of friends around here and I was thinking about inviting some people over and sharing the tradition with them. Though I’m concerned about it being taken seriously (it is a celebration, but at times a somber one).  Then I had a great* idea:  I’ll write my own seder.

Obviously it would be based on years of tradition, but having someone remember the bitter tears of slavery who is mostly thinking about a pair of jeans they want, doesn’t really work, but having them remember the bitterness they feel about what enslaves them still today, might be effective.  I’m not trying to “make the passover hip”, I just want it to also be relevant to peoples lives.  Basically, I want them to go home having experienced something more than matso ball soup and finding the hidden cracker.

What do you guys think?  Is it sacrilege?  Am I destroying passover? Or is it possible to be relevant and reverent?
