Judaism is full of traditions. Some cultural, some religious. Passover is a perfect mix of both. The holiday is a religious one, but there are many customs that are family specific. It's been so special to see the holidays through Noam's eyes now, too. Passing down traditions and seeing him learn about the holiday.
And this little guy? So special to be with him during his first Passover. Matzah is the perfect finger food, nice and crunchy.
I remember Passovers from my childhood so well and to now see my mom read Noam the same books I poured over in pre-school - so, so special.
I've always loved this holiday and have such memories of my childhood Passovers, and now, getting to watch Noam and Ronan partake in the traditions and customs is beyond special.
Happy Passover!

A beautiful family time. Happy Passover.
Any holiday as seen through the eyes of a child brings a whole new meaning to the experience. It sounds and looks like you and your family have had a most blessed holiday. Happy Passover Tamar.
Oh, so much fun! Looks like y'all are having a wonderful time together!
Seders are such a wonderful rememberance (sp?) of what God did! Such a wonderful celebration and I'm glad you could share it with the kids!
How wonderful! Isn't it neat how children are so naturally interested in learning about God and faith? Passover holds great significance for Christians, too (the blood of Christ covers us and God's wrath passes over us). I wish we celebrated it more thoroughly. My church has actually had a seder dinner in the past and each element of the meal was explained. It was deeply meaningful and informative for me. Have a blessed holiday!
How wonderful! Such a joy to see the traditions handed down generation by generation. Delightful!
What special memories you have and the new ones you are creating!! Enjoy your time with family!! Happy Passover!
I love that shot of your mom with Noam (how he's grown!). So sweet!
These are truly special memories for you all! Love the shot of your mom! I've been lucky enough to attend a seder and it was so much fun to experience it!
so lovely Tamar! Happy Passover to you and your family!
So happy for the joy you are experiencing through the nephews eyes! Such a special time. I would love to participate in a Seder one day. My daughter got to do a mock one a few years ago, and she enjoyed it.
This is wonderful Tamar - as you know, I love learning more about all your traditions. The boys are getting so big!! WOW.
Happy Passover ~ great shots and adorable children ~ xoxo

One of my most memorable Easter's at our church was when someone came from the Jewish community to share and explain the passover meal to us during service.
A very Happy Passover to you, and so glad that you are able to share it with renewed eyes through those adorable nephews of yours!
And P.S - The book came yesterday and my daughter comes home tonight for the weekend. I'm going to let her take it with her as we will be bringing her back in a few short weeks. Thanks so much again! xo
Wonderful time spent with family. The little one's are so cute and it's wonderful that you are passing on the traditions of this holiday with them.
Oh that is great that you are able to pass on these wonderful traditions. Your photos are fabulous and I love that you share your nephews in their own expressions instead of poses. I love how you do that.

So great that you get to share your special traditions with your nephews! Happy Passover!
