Reply To: Pesach – Staying Home vs. Going Away

I remember growing up that my mother never enjoyed the first seder because she was always too tired ( she had to kasher her own meats until the late 60’s ) and my wife is alo very tired for the first seder. She enjoys days 2 thru 8 at home as she takes a good nap the next afternoon. Over the years we’ve taken several shortcuts that makes it less tiring for her. We buy disposable tableware that is indestinguishable from the real thing, but dosn’t have to be shlepped and washed. Ardurous work doesn’t isn’t a prerequisite for enjoying the Yom Tov, but exhaustion can take away from that enjoyment
