A year or so ago, Newsweek surveyed several thousand people asking, “What is the one thing you would like somebody to say to you?”
 

Of the top three answers, the first was “I love you.” The second was “I forgive you” and the third was “Come and eat!”
 

Don’t you love that?
 

When I was growing up, the part of the Seder I looked forward to (after chowing down on my favorite chicken soup with matza balls and the candy raspberry chocolate covered ring jells) was singing the Passover songs. In those days, I would pull out my guitar and accompany my family as we wended our way through the seder with music and song.
