I appreciate your video about the Pesach story very much. I'm a convert for many years, but have never experienced a Seder for myself. Being single, most people will not necessarily invite someone to their home for Pesach. These videos are important, because for those who may not be as acquainted with these customs and holiday rituals, it's a learning tool. Thank you for sharing this with us.
