You’ll need:

Have you ever made your own Matzah?

Passover
We wanted to speak to some famous Jews about Passover. Playwright Daniel Goldfarb shares his family’s traditions.
1. What does your family do for Passover?
Very old fashioned. One seder with my wife’s side of the family and one seder with my side. The Goldfarb seders are enormous, and in fact my mom makes two. She’s literally had more than 40 people per night. We just keep growing. It takes a week for her to prepare it all.
2. What are your favourite parts of the seder meal?
I love the four questions. As a newish dad, I find them really moving. I love the Manischevitz. And I love the actual meal. My mom is an amazing cook and she also makes a lot of non Passover recipes that my Nanny and Bubby made, so it’s more than just a seder, it’s a historical family nostalgia feast.

Make the Jewish holiday fun and meaningful for kids without breaking your Matzo balls
The lengthy seder may not be your kids’ idea of a good time. The problem of keeping little ones in their seats has been tackled with varying degrees of success in homes throughout the world, ranging from plague performances to beating them with scallions. We looked to some of the coolest Jews we know to offer their tips on how to make seder interesting, educational and complete with some humour. But first’s thing’s first, you got to start with a cool Haggadah.
GETTING FRESH WITH MATZAH
There’s something for everyone in our 5 recipe Matzah round up. We have some seriously creative ways to make this Passover staple more kid friendly: matzo meatloaf, vegan matzo, and chocolate toffee matzoh candy. Who ever said Matzah has to be boring?

How do you decide on a Haggadah?
There are basically a million versions of the Haggadah out there so how do you choose the right one? Do you go with the holiest, most solemn and serious book you can find (no), or maybe something a little shorter and way more fun to make sure your kids are as into the seder as everyone else (yes)?
1. DIY Seder
This site lets you build your own Haggadah according to your family’s needs. All you do is answer a few questions and then print out the pages you need! And if you don’t want to print anything out, just bring your iPad to the table. As the title suggests, DIY Seder is for those who like to be a little creative, so if building a matzah house or showing your kids a Passover word cloud is the kind of thing you dig, go with this.

Join the Matzo Squad on their Mission
Mama Doni created this fun Passover song and video, “Mission Immatzoble.” Are you running out to your local kosher aisle in the very near future to pick up all your seder supplies? Then maybe you can relate to the mission, if you choose to accept it: Find as much Kosher for Passover food as humanly possible! Let’s see how well Mama Doni, the kids and her puppets fare:

Frank Gehry: Flavour Architect
Last week, we brought you Bubby Elsa’s Matzah Brei. Today, we urge you to check out architectural icon Frank Gehry’s version of the Passover brunch fare.
And no, Frank Gehry Matzah Brei does not resemble this.
