I have yet to do a true seder at my house. It is daunting and I feel intimidated. I am grateful that we have an invitation.

SO sunday is the big clean for me. We have our matzah already and except for the super chametz mix I feed our two ratties we will be chametz free.

I hope you have a good seder wherever you decide to go.

Thanks Hon, my shul is best described as Hypocrital...i always identified more as Lubavitcher because of my paternal great-grandmother's family...that's who they were.

Since my "shunning" as i like to call it i've managed to find my own balance and am doing nicely there but i do miss that connection...

There's a Keshet group here but i was always so busy elsewhere in the LGBT community i never managed to connect with them...loks like that may or may not change. One of the Rabbis here at the Reform Congregation performs weddings for LGBT couples - she just did one up in DC. Before i venture near Temple Beth El i want to meet with her...i'm sure you can understand why...

i've received an invitation from my doctor to attend his family's humongous Seder...that will be an experience - been there before...he and his wife are from South Africa and they manage to cram an average of 60 people in their house...they will hold that next Sunday...

i can pull off huge, huge, huge dinners but a Seder is way more than that...so i understand your hesitation to do your own...
