You learn stuff that way, I guess, but is there any value in it?
You know what I learned? I learned that, apparently, Sephardic seders are, in many small ways, very different from Ashkenazi ones. No to hiding the afikomen, yes to carrying it in a bundle and re-enacting exodus as a one-person show.
It's like the day I found out that, as a rule, Catholics don't generally confess in little confessionals anymore! My world is ever-so-slightly rocked. I don't know that much about Passover, not being Jewish, and now I find out that what I do know is only right for some people?
Well, now I know better. That's something.
