BOB ABERNETHY: Jews around the world are just concluding the eight days of Passover. At the Seder table on the first two nights, they read from a guide called the Haggadah, which tells the story of the Jews' exodus from Egypt. Left out of the traditional account, we're told, is the story of Miriam, Moses' sister. Rabbi Judith Halevy of the Malibu Jewish Center and Synagogue in California is our storyteller, updating the familiar tale. And Susan Weidman Schneider, editor of LILITH magazine, invited us to her Passover Seder to help tell the women's story.

Rabbi JUDITH HALEVY (Malibu Jewish Center and Synagogue): Passover says to us, in every generation, you are commanded to tell the story of your own exodus to your children. Now is the moment that women are beginning to tell their story.

SUSAN WEIDMAN SCHNEIDER (Editor, LILITH Magazine): That when we change things a little bit, like the wording and the language, the job of everybody is to, not to roll your eyes. The job of everybody is to be appreciative of the changes.

Rabbi HALEVY: So, on a personal level, I begin to tell my own story to my children. I begin to ask the story of my mother and my grandmother. No one ever told these stories.

Ms. SCHNEIDER: We have a little pot, it now has flowers in it, which comes from Grandma's house, our grandmother's house, it was for a little "boil up an egg for the child" pot.

Rabbi HALEVY: You sit at a table, and you share your stories. This is our road trip for the Jewish people.

Ms. SCHNEIDER: Also, from our grandmother who came from Russia at the turn of the century, some little silver cups that we use only at Passover time.
