A Jew(ish) First Passover in Norway

The final Passover dinner spread.

(Disclaimer: I don’t speak for other Jews, any other person, or any group of people. The thoughts expressed here are my own, and are not intended to be malignant.)

Despite identifying as atheist, I was born and raised Jewish in New York City, and still identify as such. Being Jewish, for me, extends much further than just a religion: It is an ethnicity, and has its own culture. Despite moving to Norway and being non-religious, I still enjoy the traditions and foods that remind me of home, my family, my childhood, and my identity.

With everything that is currently going on in the world, I wanted to make a Passover dinner for my husband and I, to remind me of home. If you’re not familiar with Passover, I recommend reading more about it on Wikipedia.
