 | | It is a good article, but I have a few comments/suggestions:
While I have never opened my Mezzuzah to verify it, I was told that the passage within is the v'ahavta as opposed to the 10 Commandments. The V'ahavta is a passage familiar to many Christians as well. In English:
You shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, with all your strength, with all your being. Set these words which I command you this day upon your heart. Teach them faithfully to your children. Speak of them at home, and on your way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. Bind them as a sign upon your hand. Let them be forefrontlets between thine eyes. **Inscribe them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates** .... (asterisks added)
You might footnote C.E., which is of course the abbreviation for Common Era...the abbreviation most use when they wish to refrain from using AD due to its religious connotations.
It might also be beneficial for some to explain why Easter and Passover fall so close to one another. It's not a coincidence. The Last Supper was a Passover Seder.
Finally, while it would take a long article to go into all the details of the seder...you could point people to what I believe is the best Haggadah on the web -- Uncle Eli's Haggadah:
