| Description | Lingle to Celebrate Passover Seder at Washington Place; Mansion to be Koshered
The Honolulu Advertiser
Passover, the most important holiday in Jewish tradition, sees a remarkable upswing in activities at Hawai'i's Orthodox congregation — especially if you're the rabbi's wife planning the big swanky seder at Washington Place. This is the second year Gov. Linda Lingle has seen a traditional Orthodox seder at Washington Place, with a glittering guest list that includes Jewish and interfaith dignitaries that this year will be eating their ceremonial seder foods off silver and pewter trays.
The food for the governor's seder will be prepared here under the watchful eyes of a couple who used to have a restaurant in Israel, but schlepped over to Washington Place. Part of the hot, sweaty work that it takes to kosher a kitchen is pouring boiling water over all surfaces that haven't been blow-torched, to rid it of all chametz or leavened grain products. It's important to rid the house of chametz. The story of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt is at the heart of this ritual: When Jews were told to flee, they were in a great hurry, with no time for the dough to rise. "Because we keep to the highest standard of kosher, it would be a betrayal to offer anything less than the best," she said. |
