Hol Hamoed is upon us and with it the boring headlines:
- Mom, what are we doing today?
- Why does everyone go on trips and only we don't?
- Where are we going today?
- I want us to do something special and original!
- Yes, yes, original and special! All my friends are living and only...

In all good homes, the children wait every morning of Chol HaMoed by the door to go on a trip.
To go on a trip, they are willing to wake up at a time when, in their wildest dreams, they were not ready.
They deserve it, poor things, they study so well all year long.
Where to go with them? What's the problem? -
The list is not short at all these days. All you have to do is choose.
If you are interested in plays, you will find that there are a variety of plays that invite you to attend.
If you're not in the mood to "sit down," then head to the science corner, which invites you to experience scientific experiments, build giant pyramids, write in hieroglyphics, and make a balloon that won't explode forever.
You don't like it - what's the problem? You can learn about the water world through simulation stations and glorious animated games.
Afraid you'll get wet anyway? Then hurry to the car show. On display are cars from the days before your grandfather was born.
Afraid of getting sunburned? That's not a problem either, under a ceiling you can watch a well-known graffiti artist paint on the details of your clothing.
Don't want to get your clothes dirty? – You'll probably be happy to know that you can try your hand at flying. When was the last time you visited a wind tunnel that would mercilessly throw you upwards?
Scared? What about a climbing wall that reaches a height of 5 stories? - Maybe less scary?
What about a rappelling wall?
A fast roller coaster?
Dry tubing track?
Don't know what to choose?
Maybe not so bad.
I can resolve the conflict for you. I have a special and original idea that you haven't tried in a long time. You haven't tried it because you were too busy during the recent Passover holidays.
You stood in traffic jams for three-quarters of the day and then wearily skipped from abode to a giant dance, you waited in lines, you starved for food that ran out after a short time, and, it's unpleasant to say, you silently cursed the moment you were tempted to go out onto the busy roads.
In all the past Passover holidays, you have jumped from oboe to giant dancing. From extreme motor shows to green circuses.
You're tired and you're complaining. And this time I promise you won't regret it. I'm here to help you choose originality, something you've forgotten in recent years exists.

Is your house clean for Passover? Are the shiny Passover cups shining from the shelf?
Did you buy matzah, wine, vegetables, meat, and fruit?
Choose the home route.
Go into the kitchen and prepare whatever you feel like with the whole family.
The holiday newspapers are full of recipes. Among the Passover dishes is also a faded notebook with sixty-five Passover recipes that await each year for you to dig out and eagerly prepare them.
I promise you that it won't tire you too much, won't make you thirsty, won't scare you, won't get you wet, won't bore you, won't annoy you, and won't make you too hot.
And when you're done, set a nice table for a Chol HaMoed lunch, invite a few family members you love and trust in your kosher qualifications, sit together, chat, and enjoy.
It would be interesting to meet you later with those who were tempted to stand in traffic jams, to squeeze in an exhibition or a presentation or any other idea.
It seems to me that out of all the ideas, mine is the most original, isn't it?
