Passover

Yesterday evening we went to my uncle's sister's house to celebrate Passover.Her house is in connecticut.My uncle told me that the town which his sister lives in is one of the richest town in the US.Her house is really beautiful.My uncle's whole family were there.This was the first time to join in them.They had a lot of food to eat.They had some process.After the meal and diseert.They hid a special cookie .Then they asked the kids go and find it.They all got money from the family.After that,they seated around the table.Everyone washed their hands and began to read a book.I was so nervous because I was afraid of reading among all the people.I was scared of I did know most of the words in the book.I did not know how to read them.They took turns to read.Everyone read a little part.I seated next to my uncle.They all read so quickly.When it was my turn,I was really really tense.When I did not know how to read the words,my uncle helped me.After I done,everyone clapped their hands and said great.I was so relaxed.My uncle said :see,you did it.You were better than your aunt.During their reading,they drunk wine four times.After that,everyone went back home.It was a really special and meaningful experience.

  1. Did you see that I wrote about Passover, too? I had one of those gatherings at my house last night. We had two people there who had never been to an event like that either. I hope we made those people feel comfortable like everyone made you feel. I'm proud of you for participating. I'm not surprised that you did well!
