From the Forward: Christian Passover Seders Are On The Rise
The article's sub-title on Facebook was "Cultural Appropriation or Cultural Appreciation."
I cannot say I feel appreciated by this.
For the record, the Last Supper could not have been a Seder.
Seders did not exist until after the Temple fell.
There is of course a Christian influence in the Seder itself; it is not as positive as the Roman and Greek influences.
The influence can be found in the practice of opening the door for Elijah and reciting Sh'foch Chamatcha (Psalm 79:6-7, Psalm 69:25, Lamentations 3:66).
Would a Christian Seder want appropriate/appreciate that memory of the times we two peoples shared.
