When you acknowledge the spirituality of others, you learn more about yourself. You gain insight.
That's what we told The Kid when we explained why we were hosting a Passover dinner in our home this week.
Our guest list included Jewish people and Christians. We invited friends, neighbors and co-workers to a "Gentile Passover". Everyone was touched by our invitation. One said she had been thinking about what she would do this holiday.
We made Matzo Ball soup, from scratch; and roasted chicken and lamb. Our neighbor cooked a brisket.
All of us, including The Kid and his friend, listened as one of the guests explained the meaning of the opening plate and what the food on it signified.
Everyone brought something to the table.
But the main courses were inclusiveness, love, respect and friendship.
