Calling all our Jewish posters:
We have been invited to celebrate Passover with some Jewish friends next Thursday night. They are fairly observant and take their religion seriously so I am sure it will be the real deal with no messing about. I know about Passover, and kinda know what the various elements of the meal symbolise, etc, and I'm looking forward to it because this shiksa has never been to a seder before and it will be very interesting.
I've asked my hostess if I can bring anything along and she said no, but I'd like to take at least a token. They keep strict kosher so anything to eat or drink will probably be too risky. Maybe some flowers? Are they appropriate on such an occasion?
Is there anything we should bear in mind while participating? My hostess has already told me that we will be asked to read (in English) from the prayer book and that's fine, but I don't want to cause them offence by doing/saying something stupid. Should I take something to cover my hair? Should my husband and son wear a yarmulka? I asked my hostess and she said no, but I think it would be appreciated if we did the right thing.
