Judaism is not monolithic, with a central authority whose decisions are binding on all Jews, all rabbis or all congregations. Often there are a variety of interpretations, explanations and practices regarding a particular matter.

Christianity puts great emphasis on creeds and detailed doctrinal statements and tends to regard a particular view or interpretation as either "correct" or "incorrect/false". Judaism--even Messianic Judaism--represents a much more holistic view. Often, several different interpretations or explanations are considered "acceptable" even if from the Greek-influenced Western/ Hellenistic/ modernist mindset they would be considered inconsistent.

Most Christians  have a grossly distorted view of the Jewish Passover.

Because Christians associate Passover with the Crucifixion, they think it is a very sad time. For this reason, some Christians "distance" themselves from Jewish friends and acquaintances at this time of the year, sort of like trying to avoid a person near the anniversary of his child's death so you won't accidentally add to his sorrow.

To Jews, however, Passover is a celebration -- the anniversary of the night God delivered them from slavery!

Christians should be aware that Passover has strong religious significance for Jews, like Resurrection Sunday (Easter) and Christmas for Christians.

A Passover Seder is a joyous occasion, including singing and dancing. Just as many Christians would be highly offended if someone were to get Protestant or Catholic materials and "act out" the Lord's Supper or a Mass, "just to see what it's like", many Jews are offended by Christians who--for all practical purposes--are "acting it out" instead of actually celebrating it.

If you hold a Messianic Seder, please realize that Passover is a religious ceremony ordained by God and do it with appropriate reverence!

Yes, it is long. A true Seder includes a full meal and takes about five hours.
