Your Easter (or Passover) Wine

[wondersofwine]

ShortWiner,
Rabbi Levanon at Beth Israel in Fayetteville, twice in past years led my Episcopalian church through the Seder meal so that we would appreciate the customs and symbolism of the bitter herbs, etc. (Only he left out the part about being required to drink four glasses of wine.) He is a wonderful gentleman with a great sense of humor and deep knowledge of Judaism. He participated (along with our female priest, a Greek Orthodox priest, an iman of the local Muslim community and a lay member of our church) in leading sessions when we did a "Genesis" study based on the Bill Moyers' PBS series. Later, I attended some sessions at Beth Israel on the Jewish forefathers and the Holocaust remembrance.
March 22 of this year I attended my first Jewish wedding. My nephew's bride is Jewish. It was a moving ceremony and the parties before and after the ceremony were really fun. Enjoyed dancing to Hava Nageela (sp?) I can parrot some of the words to the song from listening to Harry Belafonte sing it on an old 33 1/3 rpm record that I used to own. I'm assuming you had dancing after your wedding too?
