On Friday, April 10th, the Brooklyn Humanist Community gathered at Michael and Antoinette's home for our second annual Humanist Seder. As always there was plenty of delicious food: pot roast, chicken, vegetables, salad, homemade gefilte fish, just to name a few of the items. We also had a huge variety of desserts.
With twenty-three of us in attendance, the house was just about bursting at the seams. Celeste and Bruce "led" the Seder but everyone had a chance to read several paragraphs. We used the same text as last year but added a couple of songs supplied by Julie. This year, when we mentioned our "heroes," I heard the names of many departed family members. So it was a Seder of love and remembrance, also.
Along with the dessert of cakes and macaroons, Michael and Antoinette supplied an American flag sheet cake in honor of their son Jonathan, who departs for the Navy on April 20th. We sang "Anchors Away," and "God Bless America."
Kudos to Michael and Antoinette who always do an excellent job of hosting a party, and kudos to Jason who was an enormous help, serving food and drink to everyone.
