Happy Passover from Korea! (a few weeks late)

Passover was last month and anyone who knows me knows I always "celebrate." By celebrate, I mean I don't eat bread products, rice products, or corn products, and don't mix milk and meat for eight days. I also cook lots of amazing Jew food: matzah ball soup, various kugels, latkes, fried matzah, etc.

I never would have imagined that I would be able to celebrate Passover in Korea. I've met a small group of Jews during my time here and we decided to have a seder and potluck dinner. It was a full seder like I would have at home. We read the hagaddah and said all the prayers and sang the songs. It was the only full seder I've been to not hosted by my family and I had a great time. I really enjoyed being able to keep my religious traditions alive even in Korea.

We also had a meal, just like we would have at home. I made two kugels: potato and apple, we also had matzah ball soup. chicken, charoset, and lots of wine. Overall, it was a really great night. I was so happy to find people I can celebrate the holidays with in Daegu and look forward to celebrating more Jewish holidays in Korea in the future!
