One new tradition for Pesach is to put an orange on a seder plate to honor women. That's all well and good, but if I were creating seder plate traditions, I would include a prune, and I'd put it right next to the matzah.
ORF, no - it's just a new tradition started by feminists. The original ideas was to use crusty bread and to say that lesbians were as welcome to Judaism as a piece of crusty bread. But bread is verboten during Pesach, so they toned it down to an orange, saying a woman is as welcome in Judaism as an orange is at a seder - and then voila, an orange is produced at the seder.

I wish I was Jewish so I could make a joke here...oh well, at least you made me learn something today, Scott. Jesus loves you...just kidding!
But, Mike, Jews eat babies. How can Jesus love someone like that? Oooh, I wonder if Rick Santorum is half-Jewish or something!!
Scott, I got the prune joke. It was hilarious. Is the orange thing a new addition to the halachah?
I celebrated Pesach for the first time last year (my boyfriend grew up Jewish) and dearly wished there had been a prune on the seder plate.
