""Satiric"?? So only Jews are allowed to be satiric when it comes to other religions and non-Jews? Man! The bitchiest people on earth are Jews! You can't say anything about them or Israel without being labeled "anti-semitic," "Jew-hater," or "bigot"."

Buddy, you are all ate up with ignorance. That is a generalization. That is the beginning of prejudice. Prejudice is the beginning of bigotry, racism, etc. I personally am a catholic, and I hear all kinds of catholic jokes. Really this reflects more on the person telling the joke than my religion. The fact is that this was a silly way to get people past some of the more glaring mistakes that can be made when religions mix. In a perfect world, the host is forgiving and the visitor is diligent and respectful, so none of this is necessary. I think noboss is right... Get a life. One with room for other points of view.

But when they make derogatory remarks or insult others no one should respond because they were just being "satiric". No, YOU get a life dude!

OMG! People... get a life. This was obviously meant to be satiric.
That's the problem with this country. Everyone gets so offended by everything. Oh, Oh, you hurt my sensitive feelings! You insulted me and my religion and my dog and my politics and my car and my race and my job and my gender... wah wah wah! Time to grow up and learn to laugh a little, huh?

I only ever invite non-Jewish friends who know about the seder, but, frankly, I can't imagine inviting people whose behavior would bother me to the seder in my home in the first place. Unless they bring their own kippa (which they do, mostly) I don't even expect them to wear one. It's a holy occasion to celebrate our covenant with God with family and friends, not to scrutinize if someone knows what rituals to observe.

What a stupid video. If a Jew invites a non-Jew to a seder, it is the obligation of the Jew to inform the other party about the details of the seder. Also, why shouldn't a Christian who has been invited to a seder wouldn't wear a cross? Wouldn't the Jew already know that the guest is a Christian? - Rubish!

Wow - I should be concerned about "insulting" people who say I should come watch their religion in action? But they aren't supposed to be concerned about telling me how wrong my religion is about the important stuff? How wrong it is to believe anything in the new testament? Some of my best friends ARE jewish and we enjoy arguing. But they would NEVER whine or complain about me "insulting" them because of something I did at their seder table. You people are wrapped too tightly.

It wasn't meant to be funny!!

Having attended Seder in the past, I know that people have committed some of these blunders.
