Join Me Live On My Cam For The Ceremony Of Bedikat Hametz

I will go from room to room in my hovel holding only a candle and a feather and a spoon and I will scoop up the remaining crumbs of bread and chant some gnarly incantations.

Following that, I will stage a virtual seder for shut-ins.

This is a spiritual experience not to be missed.

POSTSCRIPT: It was a wild time in the chat room. I had a total of one viewer.

It went like this:

Jimmy:  hi Head of Household
Jimmy:  I’d love to see what you do for Halloween
User guest213 entered the room.
Jimmy:  Hi 213  Luke is doing rituals
Jimmy:  Good work, Luke!

For those of you who missed seeing my ceremony live, a replay is up on YouTube.

It’s the first time I’ve done bedikat hametz. I’ve always given it the big skip.

Why? I couldn’t be bothered. But now I’ve got a cam, it makes these rituals exciting. I can be an exhibitionist and a narcissist and it’s all in the service of G-d.

If only I could’ve done it in my speedo.

I’ll be going away for three days, guys. I’m going to destroy the temple of Lukeford.net and rebuild it.

I won’t be making any updates from Friday sundown until Monday sundown. Instead I will be engaged in prayer, Torah study and self-nullification.

Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me but for yourselves, and for your children…

Verily I say unto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit…
