A Final Pesach Coffee

Lets start with a really awesome quote from the midst of Pesach, and then recap the entire wonderful week. "Better Kitniout then Chametz and better Chametz then Chazer"...there's a really long story behind that. So, lets talk about Pesach!
Along with all the Jews residing in Israel (and contrary to Jews in American for whom Passover lasts 8 days) my Passover was 7 days. I spent my Seder (singular because I'm in Israel) at my uncle Dannys house, but there were a bunch of us there. It was: My grandmother, both my uncles and my aunts (their wives) and two of my cousins. The seder went along smoothly with everyone reading different parts as we went along. The customary meal near the end of the Seder was dairy and we finished the entire Seder at 11.30. Early, but good. The next day was prayers etc and after the conclusion of the 1st day of Pesach we started the intermediate days (in which work, use of electrcity etc is permitted) and everyone went home or to the States (as Danny and Beatrice did). Friday wasn't too exciting of a day, though I did pray at the Western Wall that evening, and I spent Shabbat in the dorms with a bunch of friends (Tobey, Jamie, Talia, Dayna, Britney, Molly etc). Shabbat afternoon I lay in the grass with a bunch of them and took a walk with Molly and Aaron (my friend from Bing whos also studying abroad and flew into Israel for passover).
Sunday morning had he old city swarmed with both Christians and Jews as it was Easter and a special Priestly Blessing (for the Jews) held by the Western Wall. That afternoon, however, I took a bus to Ashdod where my two friends Molly, Marla and I al spent the night by my uncle Michel. Netta, his wife, prepared a practical feast for us and the two fo her children that were there. WOW. The next morning the MMI went to the beach for a few hours and had a wonderful time. That evening, upon my return to Yerushalyim, I went on bit of a wild goose chase trying to find someone from my hometown who is in for a week and a half. That evening was Salsa (YAY) and then I spoke with my friend and madricha (sort of like an RA) Naama and made the final arrangments to go to her house for the last day of Passover (the second part of the holiday that has pure holiday restrictions). The next morning...
When I got back form the gym the next morning I had a voicemail from my great aunt Rosa. She was inviting me to come with her and my uncle Jerry to their daughter Margalit for the last day. Oh no, what was I to do? Well, I called Naama and told her that I had had a sudden change in plans and would be spending the holiday with my family. I hope I didn't inconvienence her in any way, but I am very happy that I spent the last day with my family. I couldn't have hoped for a warmer group of people and I am so glad I went.
When I got back to Jerusalem last night, after the conclusion of Passover for everyone in Israel, I checked my e-mail (of course). Well, I got my RA placement for next year: It's in an amazing hall with one of the RD's who I think is the bomb. Yay! Now, lets start summer!
