PASSOVER: Don’t Be a Slave to Tradition


URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/articles/item/passover_dont_be_a_slave_to_tradition_20060407_12930

Here was my dilemma when I came of age and began making my own seders: Should I maintain tradition even though I didn't have the same associations with these foods that my mother did? Since Passover celebrates freedom (another traditional name for the holiday is Zman Cheiruteinu, or The Time of Our Freedom), I wanted to express my freedom by making foods of my own choosing, rather than feeling bound by a menu that was "traditional" only due to its roots in Eastern European cuisine.
