Street Report #20 - Passover

Father Bob Maguire - April 25, 2008 - 3:34pm

The event was held at the St Kilda Drop In Centre.  We
expected 10 to 18 people and ended up with 30 people. Assisting myself was Peter Fein and Dahlia Gross.

We served a traditional Jewish
meal, with matzohs, gefillte fish, chicken soup, kneodeles, chicken and apple
compote.  Not all participants were Jewish, (only about five) but they all
appreciated the afternoon and thanked us for giving them an insight into
another religion, so to speak.

During the serving of the meals, I gave anecdotes re
the Passover dinner and why we have the customs we do at this time of the year.
Rosa, the elderly lady, said the Mah Nish Tana, even though she wasn't
the youngest there.
