Did you feel left out during the Easter egg hunt?  Feel it no more.  Search for non-Passover foods as a physical and spiritual exercise.  We even use chocolate eggs and cookies for the children, and candles and feathers for searching.  We’ll build a bonfire and burn the chametz. Hear a Passover story, too.  It all takes less than an hour.
