| Dear readers, I hope you had a wonderful Earth Day, Easter, Passover and whatever else you're celebrating this spring. In Washington, our neighbors find all sorts of cause for celebration, from the return of the cherry blossoms to the release of the Mueller report. (Are you one of the people still talking nonstop about Mueller? Want to read the report as a book? The Washington Post has got you covered.) As religion reporters, Michelle, Sarah and I have one assignment that recurs each year: the holiday stories. Every Easter and every Passover (as well as every Christmas and Rosh Hashanah), we have to come up with some new story to tell about the holiday. In the past, for me, that has meant writing about Easter evangelizing and stations of the cross processions, and Passover seders with themes ranging from marijuana to anti-racism. This year, Michelle brought us a thoughtful look at what Easter means when you're not religious. And I met Marnie Fienberg, a Northern Virginia woman who turned her grief at losing a relative in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting this fall into a nationwide Passover program. We're always interested in learning about the endless variety of holiday traditions out there. And we're glad reading this newsletter twice a week is a tradition for you. Yours truly, Julie Zauzmer, religion reporter |
