Jewish Family: Days and Seder Meal

jewish family: That means I was hired as a non-Jew to take care of work that Jewish religious law prohibits adherents from taking care of themselves on the Sabbath, according to Hamilton Spectator. During the days leading up to Passover which this year ends on Tuesday night I was engaged with zeal in dishwashing, housecleaning and food prep with the women as they switched over to the special dishes used only on these holy days. However, the one PT gig I recall with the most favour this time of year is my role as a Shabbos goy for a Jewish family. Once Pesach officially started, I was often on my own in the kitchen, especially the first two nights when the Seder meal would be eaten. It is one of the positions I had in life that will impact my whole being till my dying days. On those nights, I would lean in tightly to hear the words of the Haggadah through the closed door to the dining room where that and the other 13 steps of the ordered ritual were underway.
