Smapti's Continuing Adventures in Judaism: First Seder

The other day I made an offhand comment on a Jewish subreddit that, based on my understanding of the rules, flour tortillas should count as matzah for Passover purposes. You would think I’d pulled a pin out of a grenade.

It would have been a Passover gathering, but not a seder in the modern sense. The seder as it exists today is a product of the post-Temple rabbinic era and Jeezy Boy and his pals would have celebrated very differently - there would have been a roast lamb from the sacrificial offering, for one, and the “Hillel sandwich” would have been more like a shawarma wrap than the charoset and maror on a cracker that gets used today.
