Tonight everything is about making it to the cheesecake. This is our mission. But before we get there, we need to gather our items, prepare our stories, and get everyone together for one special night. 

As you’ll see, the meaning of a Golden Passover is just being together with the people you love. These people can be family, friends, chosen family, new friends, etc. What makes it golden is the diversity of people around your table, the stories you’ll share, and yes, the cheesecake you’ll eventually eat. This is a special night, one that you’ll remember the spirit of for the remainder of the year. 

If you’re anything like the Girls, over the course of the Haggadah you’ll laugh, you might cry, but you’ll certainly come away from it ready to eat!! So let’s get ready. Here’s what you’ll need…

A vegetable of some kind like a potato, onion, etc.
A fruit paste of some kind, like chopped apples, figs, walnuts, etc.
A roasted bone. (Just not from Count Bessie!)
A hard-boiled egg. 
Horseradish root. 
Romaine lettuce. 
Matzah. 
Lots of wine! 
That’s it. Are you ready? Because the girls are!
