We attended and hosted wonderful seders this year! Thanks to my brother and sister-in-law for hosting the first night and for giving me so much to (a) think about, and (b) to eat!
Below are a list of links I collected up as Passover approached. The usual happened: whenever I thought I'd read the last word on a topic I realized there was more to learn and a fresh perspective to be gained.
