As a Jew, it is infuriating. Several years ago I went to our local Temple for Passover. (we only have one in our County, not many Jews, so they bring in Rabbi’s for the big holidays). For this Seder they brought in a woman Rabbi from LA. As we were going through the Seder ritual which includes an explanation and symbolism of everything on the seder plate, there was a new item. It was an “orange.” We were told that the orange on the plate represented the plight of the LGBTQ community. I just started laughing. Actually howling with laughter. I got so many dirty looks. I said to my table mates, are you telling me that gays in Hollywood are being equated to the Jewish slaves leaving Egypt? SEIROUSLY? Last time I went to a Seder in a synagogue.

You might check to see if there’s a Chabad house near your town.
