Toronto seder?

As a follow-up to yesterday's musing, I checked out the dates for Passover this year. It turns out that first seder (ie: the first night of passover, April 12 this year) happens to be during my last week of classes, when I have 3 papers due and will be preparing for my Latin finals.

BUT... I've never once had a year without a seder before, and I'll be damned if a little thing like grad school is going to stop me!

So, is there anyone in Toronto holding a seder which I can attend? If not, I'm thinking of running an interfaith seder at Massey. (ie: a traditional seder but with more explaining, and open to non-Jews, kind of like what [livejournal.com profile] joane did a few years ago)

Speaking purely as an interested post-Christian, that would be an interesting sort of thing to attend, schedule permitting.

If I wind up doing it at Massey, I'll probably put out an appeal on my lj to interested friends. I'll bring anyone interested along as a guest, and the cost will probably be $15-20 for dinner and wine.

I would actually be surprised if this hasn't been done at Massey before.

No doubt. But I don't know which other fellows (other than Noam and Ester) are Jewish.

If it looks like no one else is having a seder, I'll put out something on the Massey list and see who would be interested in participating.

For the record, I probably wouldn't come--with all due respect, I personally am not a big fan of ritual. But I think it's a nice idea and I'm sure you'll find people at Massey who would be interested.
