We had the seder dinner tonight in the Oasis to celebrate Passover. The dinner reminds us of Israel's escape from Egypt under the oppression of the Pharoah. The Jewish history professor, Ophir Yarden, conducted the dinner and taught us how it is done in stages, interspersed with eating, drinking, reading and singing.
As part of the celebration, we poured grape juice into each other's goblets, to sip at certain points during the reading / singing. After everyone had finished pouring, someone recognized it was wine, not grape juice. The staff quickly gathered the goblets and wine bottles and replaced them with clean glasses and grape juice.
We were assigned seating so we got to sit with Jules and Kristin.
