As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can’t argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.

In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.

happy Jewish holidays google image search results!

For my Goyim friends who don’t get the joke:

The first image shows a bunch of random stuff from a whole bunch of Jewish holidays, none of which are Passover. At a glance I see Hanukkah (menorah, dreidel), Rosh Hashanah (apples and honey, pomegranate), Sukkot (harvested apples), and a bunch of other random Jewish desserts which may or may not be intended as holiday-specific ones. Many leavened breads are on display.

The remaining images all show leavened bread, which is one thing that is universally disallowed during Passover, as we are celebrating our history of being slaves who very quickly left Egypt and didn’t have time to let the dough rise; unleavened bread is the symbol of exodus.

addenda to image descriptions: the first image is a tweet by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, saying “Happy Passover to all those celebrating”; it’s quote-tweeted by Josh Sternberg, saying “Tell me you have no Jews on your staff without telling me you have no Jews on your staff.” the second image is a tweet from the UK Labour Party, saying “As Jewish people prepare for Passover, we’re wishing everyone in the Jewish community chag sameach.” the third image is a tweet from Michigan House Republicans, saying “Wishing you peace and blessings this Passover.”

I forgot to tell you guys the cutest Passover story! 

So last week my congregation held its annual communal Seder (I led it, actually!) and after dinner, all of the kids went off to find the Afikomen. I thought I heard them say they found it out in the foyer, but then when I went to check in on their progress, a few of them told me the search was still going on. Another ten minutes passed, and when I went back out in the foyer, most of the kids were just hanging out, watching on and giving hints while the smallest of the children looked around for the Afikomen. 

I asked them what the deal was and they explained to me that the guy who had initially hid the Afikomen put it up in a spot that was kind of high, so naturally it was the older kids who found it. They decided this wasn’t fair to the others, so the 11-12 year-olds re-hid it for the 7-10 year-olds, and then told them that once they had found the Afikomen, that they should then re-hide again it for the 4-6 year-old kids. 

So without any adult input, a group of about 15 children between the ages of 4-12 made the group decision to have an equal-opportunity Afikomen hunt for kids of all ages and sizes. 

I just think that’s the best and sweetest thing, and it makes me so proud of the kids at our schul and gives me hope for the future.
