Pesach countdown -- minus 7 days ?

Unfortunately, the last few days before Pesach are always a little .... busy. Especially the last two days, which -- in my family -- are spent changing the kitchen from regular usage to Pesach usage and then preparing for the seder (or sedarim). Pesach is further complicated by the fact that it lasts for 8 days, but 4 or 5 of those days are either chag (holiday) or Shabbat, during which some Jews refrain from various types of work, including going online and updating blogs.

What with one thing and another, I'm just going to have to backtrack to fill in the blanks. I am actually going to break down the remainder of the Pesach stuff into 3 parts and publish each on a separate day. That's just to give myself a little breathing space.

1 -- Pesach preparation, the final stages.

2 -- The sedarim we hosted this year.

3 -- Returning to normal after Pesach.

After all that, it will be time to think about the next thing on the Jewish calendar -- counting the Omer.
