Being down at the South Pole can be tough. We miss a lot of annual events that we are used to celebrating with existing friends and family. While there are only two Jewish folks that I know of on station, 17/41 showed up to celebrate Passover on Monday. It was a pretty cool to see so many people come out.
We did not do the full 4-5 hour meal. We skipped over lots of parts, but the heart of it was all there. The cup for Elijah, inviting him in with the station door open, the stolen afikoman, and, perhaps my favorite, raw horseradish root instead of horseradish for the Maror. Wow, that really cleared up the sinuses. Thankfully, KLS has been preparing me for years for this by feeding me raw garlic cloves.
