1 celery root cut to medium-sized cubes
14 ounces sweet potatoes cut into
medium-sized cubes
1 parsley root cut into medium cubes
6 peeled whole garlic cloves
Juice from two oranges (orange zest may be added)

5 stalks of fresh thyme
5 tablespoons olive oil

Then add the lamb and bring to boil.

Cover the pot and place in the oven at 320 degrees for approximately 2 hours.

Check if meat is tender and add the sweet potato cubes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving suggestion:

Seder thoughts 2012

Multiple choice symbolism

“Why do we eat matzah on Passover?” asks Rabbi Reuven Kimelman, professor at Brandeis University, author of several books on Jewish liturgy, and scholar-in-residence at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades in Tenafly.

I sense that this is a trick question, and decline to answer.

He presses me.

“Why do we eat matzah?” he repeats.

I reluctantly answer.

 

In need of a seder?

A listing of synagogues hosting communal feasts

A listing of synagogues hosting communal feasts

If you are in need of a seder to go to, the first place to turn is the rabbi of your local synagogue. He or she may be able to help.

There also are a number of synagogues hosting s’darim this year, with reservations on a first-come basis. What follows is a list of those s’darim of which we are aware.

There are fewer possibilities this year because of the difficulties created by the second seder night falling out at the end of Shabbat.
