Anonymous- Have you never read a book that's considered a classic and found it to be boring or annoying? For me that book is the Haggadah. I don't think everyone else needs to dislike Pesach, but I do. I understand that there's meaning and importance in the holiday, but to me it's boring/frustrating.

Rebecca-It's not that I'm so consumed by how much pesach sucks to see the beauty. I never saw the beauty, so I concluded that it sucks. There are a few parts that I like, and I'm honest and happy about those, but as a whole, the holiday doesn't speak to me. My family is well aware of this, and I'm sure it's annoying to them, but it's old news at this point, so they pretty much just ignore my grumblings.

We don't all have to love every part of every bit of Judaism, and this is the part that I don't like. It doesn't mean I skip seders, or eat anything that's not K for P on Pesach. I observe the mitzvot, and I think it's important to do so. You may also want to consider that the way my family does Pesach is different than the way yours does it. Maybe if I went to your seder I'd love it.

The way you feel about pesach is the way I feel about sukkot. If you don't adore sukkot does that mean you just can't see the beauty of it, or that you just prefer Pesach? What if you didn't get along with your family? Would you expect 'the most "family minded" holiday of the year' to be your favorite then? Of course not.

The point of my post wasn't that everyone out there should join me in hating pesach. If you read past the first 200 words you'll see that I was trying to give some tips for making a seder more lively, and engaging, because it's clear to me that boring seders are a problem. I was, actually, trying to be productive. Can we focus a little? Please?
