Author Frederick Morton related that once at a family seder his grandmother packed the idea of liberation into a gesture. It came when it was time to dip a finger and shake off ten drops of wine symbolizing the ten plagues that punished Egypt. His grandmother did not shake them off one by one. Instead, she thrust both hands into the cup and sent tenfold spray flying. “There,” she said to the enemy, “take that for starting it.” The purpose of Passover is to “feel” as if you were there.
