The Wall Street Journal has an article today discussing ways in which people are trying to make Passover observance "more fun".

Rabbi Oren Hayon of Dallas had an idea to that end. He and some colleagues are tweeting the Exodus story, building the story by collecting the simulated tweets of its participants.

For example:

@DaughterofPharo: Hey! Something just touched my leg! Is it a croc? Oh - just a basket. Whew! OMEG! There's a baby in here!

This will either get people more excited about Passover or less excited about Twitter. Which, remains to be seen.
