They have been fast pals whose children, Rachel Galinsky and David Lippa, would someday marry. Right up until the accessoire involving the two fat geese and the 6 laying hens (it’s complex…don’t inquire!) turned them into arch enemies. Enter the rabbi who, alongside with Rachel and David and the whole village, hatches a plot that delivers the two family members back again together more than a really extended Seder table. Seder supper specifics (monitoring straight down crumbs and, of study course the Elijah door) are neatly tucked into this hot, rollicking plot illustrated with folksy prints hand carved on wooden and linoleum blocks.
