Tonight I will be joining friends for Passover Seder --- a meal filled with ritual and social interaction.  I really enjoy this holiday tradition and the friends who invite me entertain those of Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Agnostic, and Atheist beliefs.  It is a night for all to enjoy.  

The Brown's always host and celebrate this holiday with an equal mix of tradition and fun.  It is an inspiring night because I know the Browns to be philanthropists of the highest order.  Their giving nature is not reserved only for high holy days or special occasions.  They consistently give back to the community and lend a hand up to those who need it.  This never seems to be from a need to impress, but truly from a spirit that enjoys giving and sharing.  

I smile even as I write this because I can imagine tonight's proceedings as the Browns read from Biblical texts, play the customary games, make traditional toasts, and generally fill their home with warmth and love.  They keep a true spirit of celebration that excludes no one.  I am honored to once again be invited to share this special night with them and with the friends who will join in tonight's festivities.
