While you are practicing tradition by having a Seder.Well, as noted, I'm opposed to following tradition simply because it's tradition. That's not the same thing as opposing tradition simply because it's tradition. If you started doing something because it was fun then and you continue to do it because it's fun now, then go ahead. Abstaining from something you enjoy simply because it's a tradition is as absurd as doing something you hate simply because it's a tradition. As it happens, Seders are fun. I used to attend (at least) one every year and I generally enjoyed it quite a bit. However, while I enjoy many aspects of a Seder, I did not enjoy the dry ritualistic claptrap. Luckily, it turned out that many people shared my opinion. One year, we swapped the Haggaddah for a decidedly irreverent homemade alternative, and that basically just opened the floodgates for various improvements to the tradition. Doing what works regardless of its status as "tradition" is how things should be. |
