If you weren’t obliged to have family and friends filling chairs around your table, who would you invite for Passover?
With the entire Jewish world and beyond to choose from, which people – past, present or fictional – would you want to break matzah with?
We asked 10 faces to pick eight guests to invite to a fantasy seder … Compiled by Fiona Leckerman for Jewish News UK
Host: Mayim Bialik, star of the Big Bang Theory
Sam Harris – We went to neuroscience grad school at UCLA together and he is my favorite atheist Jew ever. I don’t always agree with him, but he is brilliant and reasonable and thoughtful.
Billy Eichner – We met at the White House of all places, and before that I only knew that he does these crazy interviews and one featured him and Lindsay Lohan talking about me. I find him to be a fearless and hysterical comedian and he’s warm and heimish.
Sarah Silverman – Irreverent, perhaps. But so revolutionary. I would be fine if she came in jeans and a T-shirt and sneakers even.
Bill Prady – Our creator and executive producer on The Big Bang Theory. This man knows everything about everything and he is absolutely charming.
Eric Kaplan – Co-exec producer of The Big Bang Theory and author of Does Santa Exist? This is the guy who will catapult the seder into a philosophical and mystical journey.
Benjamin Netanyahu – Just so I can find out what’s going on in his head.
Lenny Kravitz – I need to have the experience of singing Chad Gadya with this man.
Jon Stewart – Such an influential voice for our times. Also probably sings a mean Chad Gadya.
