Open Source Passover Dinner

April 19, 2008 - 7:16 p.m. - Venice, CA

Gilad and danah hosted an open source Passover dinner at their bungalow in Venice. I learned a lot about the L-rd (aka G-d) from the collective group's POV. It was a very different Seder than the ones I've attended with my family in the past and I gotta say, it's pretty cool to celebrate this way! Thanks to Team BL for hosting a wonderful evening.
