There was a “feminist seder” at my moms’ UU church tonight. So naturally there was an orange on the seder plate. 
The story my mom told was that a rabbi supposedly said “we need a woman on the bimah like we need an orange on the seder plate.” But I just did a little research, and many web sites tell a different story. And it’s much more interesting.
Anyway, the seder was fun and I am completely stuffed.
