139th Annual Matzoh Hunt

Not true! It's plenty fun.

On Good Friday, April 14, 2017, the Short Jewish Gal will host the 139th annual Passover Matzoh Hunt on the South Lawn of her sprawling Sherman Oaks estate. This year's theme is a lot like last year's theme: "Gimme Gelt!" More than 35,000 adorably rambunctious pishers are expected to join in the search for the afikomen. In an exclusive interview, the SJG admitted, "Listen, it's not that easy to find new places to hide a bunch of broken matzoh, but I feel confident that this year, I've outdone myself. The kids really have their work cut out for them. I won't give anything away, other than to say checking under all those 150-pound rocks may prove challenging. I've already thrown my back out twice." Today's event will feature the beloved Matzoh Ball Toss (don't worry, the matzoh balls are room temperature), cooking safety demonstrations, including "How To Chop That Apple and Slice That Brisket Without Losing A Finger," pre-recorded Passover music, the Haggadah Hora, and storytelling galore. You want to know how Moses parted the Red Sea in time to get to his grandma's seder? Ask the SJG. Passover ends on the 18th, so quick like a bunny, get your tickets for 139th Annual Matzoh Hunt. They're selling like hot kugel, but if you hurry, you can still score a couple for your kinder.
