My Seder Plate

This year I don’t need symbols on my Seder plate.

This year I am very literal.

An egg is just an egg,

A bone represents only bones.

This year I’m all pshat.

Hate, Lies, Anger, Fear, Pain, Isolation, 

Death

Only an empty Seder plate can hold all that truth.

A Blueberry On The Seder Plate

I had a student,
He was on the autism spectrum
And he came up with this idea 
Of a blueberry on the Seder plate
For people like him.  

On the outside a blueberry is blue, 
On the inside it’s green,
And  if you cook  it,
Sometimes it is purple.  

You can’t tell what a blueberry is
Or can be 
Just by looking at it.
