Now wait a minute! I've been on this board for over 10 years, and this is the first I've heard that Frummie is a problem! Why did nobody tell me? It's too late to change my SN now, because everyone knows me as FF.
I have to make Pesach this year, because Pesach won't make it by itself. If I don't make it, it won't get made. Make sense?

Which other Frummie are you making Pesach with?

Answer to your question- We don’t just make a seder. We make Pesach from A through Z. Like, in a very literal way. |
Maybe she means Jewtalk. I'm an FFB and I don't fully speak the language myself but yes, I do say make Pesach.

Any Israelis / solid Hebrew speakers know what frum Israelis would call "doing the pesach prep"? |
Even in yiddish, "Machen Pesach" is sort of slang usage. The proper way to say it in yiddish is "areinbrengen der Yom Tom" - literal is 'bring in the Yom Tov'.

As a BT who grew up with Pesach and Seders and around other non-ortho Jews, I'd never heard anyone say they were "making Pesach" until I became frum. People would say they're "hosting the seder." |
Frummies?
