...well, at least if one follows the ideas of Reform Judaism

Off to hit a bakery. Didn't feel like ending Passover at 2100hrs last night with shitty junkfood from the dining hall.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

See my parent post; reform takes the view that since the 8 day / 7 day dichotomy is a vestige of a time before accurate timekeeping that it is an irrelevant distinction and therefore 7 days is fine worldwide.

Since you technically aren't supposed to eat chametz after noon on the day preceding the first seder, I'm thinking about finishing this thing before sundown - to make it a full 8 days and no longer. (There's a nice-looking barbecue going on out there...)

It's actually over now.
20 seconds after Havdala there was a rush of people for the TV to watch Family Guy. Twas amusing.

I stood inline for 2 hours outside the kosher pizza place which opened at 11:15pm last night while my friends stood in the 1 1/2 hour line at the kosher dunkin donuts.

I'll echo the previous posts: l'shana habah b'yerushaliam!!!

Chametzly yours,
bstone

Since the Jewish day begins/ends at sunset, this is the time when holidays begin/end. While one is surely free to observe how they choose, the Judaism offically ended the holiday last night a bit after sunset (unless you are in Israel, which it ended Sat night).

Ahh, the joys of selling chametz to a friend and getting it back right away . . . no one hour wait for me.
Also, first chametz I had was whipped cream straight from the bottle, how about all of you?
