I just assumed that people would be worried about getting every little last crumb into that fire.<br />You're probably right--they're just lazy.<br />I'm honestly not sure which is worse!Abacaxi Mamaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604184268628243496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11850330.post-2065029093050260972009-04-20T18:42:00.000-04:002009-04-20T18:42:00.000-04:00What is it with people throwing plastic bags into ...<I>What is it with people throwing plastic bags into the fire? Don't they know that it's bad for the environment, it stinks, and it doesn't burn well?

It was inadvisable for me to stay up late the night before cleaning, get up before the crack of dawn that morning, and stay up late for a seder that night. I say: Better to do birkat hachama a little later than to kill the whole seder experience. There are times that Judaism requires us to suffer--this is not one of them.<BR/><BR/>That said, I think that those who said it at sunrise probably had a much more powerful experience than I did.Abacaxi Mamaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604184268628243496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11850330.post-9205873070420001062009-04-08T11:52:00.000-04:002009-04-08T11:52:00.000-04:007:45 AM?? someone has been spoiled :)(The Sun rose...7:45 AM?? someone has been spoiled :)<BR/><BR/>(The Sun rose much earlier)myarivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946478072153648546noreply@blogger.com
