There’s a lot of ways to spice up your Passover this year. Weed infused matzo brei, plague-themed nail art and Larry David are just a few of them.
Here’s five tips for making this year’s Seder different from all other Seders.
Revisit Harry Potter’s world with this magical Haggadah.
Want to bring The Boy Who Lived to Passover this year? Check out Rabbi Moshe Rosenberg’s “Unofficial Hogwarts Haggadah,” which breaks down Seder texts with a Harry Potter twist. That means comparing the boy wizard’s Hogwarts journey to Exodus, the prophecy to the Torah, the four houses to the Four Sons, and more.
Get stoned — while still keeping traditional.

Liven up your nails with this plague-themed nail art.
There’s ten new terrifying plagues this Passover — and they’re all in the form of cute nail art. Midrash Manicures, a nail painting company that incorporates Jewish themes into wearable items, just released a line of nail art featuring the ten modern plagues (which include climate change, healthcare access and alternative facts).
Watch Curb Your Enthusiasm: Passover Edition.
Only Larry David could write a television episode about a Seder, a sex offender and an Afikomen cheating scandal. If you have a subscription to Amazon or HBO, look for Season 5, Episode 7.
