This is a year for change, we’re redefining what it means to keep with tradition. Like so many of you I’ve struggled the past few weeks on how to move forward. How to contribute meaningfully to the conversation without adding unnecessary noise. How to maintain rituals that once gave me comfort, rooted me in my practice, and now seem fleeting, almost unimportant. This time last year we were celebrating a #lowwaste Passover seder with all our nearest and dearest, breaking homemade matzo, together. This year, I considered one of my 4 questions to be, what’s the point? With everything going on, I’ve realized ritual is more important than ever. The act of tradition, however it’s been shifted / altered / repurposed, is an act of resiliency. Change is inevitable, we must adapt as our normal fluctuates. We give meaning to these traditions and that will continue to push us forward. So yes, despite the distance and awkwardness of a digital seder, it’s still happening this year. I’ll be leading on a CLC video seder this Friday, if anyone would like to join. (Send me your email!) Here’s to new traditions, here’s to resiliency, here’s to homemade matzo. How are y’all celebrating Passover this year? #closedloopcooking

@bonetiredmama and I have been locked down for the last few weeks - minus a few assignments here and there. But on the upside of being with the family 24/7 is having the chance to be together for the holidays and explain a little about a few traditions. If only my kids would little. At least @jl_lacar did. I hope everyone is surviving these tough times and keep in mind all the folks who can’t be with their families tonight. #coronavirus #coronavirusdiary @sonyalpha #passover2020 #lockdown #stayhome #superman https://www.instagram.com/p/B-x65RAFHHk/?igshid=81g0ffu5h0l7

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people. David Roberts, The Departure of the Israelites, 1830. https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/the-departure-of-the-israelites-33464
