Next year in Jerusalem.
Take a minute to imagine Passover on Deep Space Nine. Just take a minute. A moment, even.
Assuming the Sisko family is Jewish - not too much of a stretch, given the wonderful names they’ve got, Benjamin and Judith and Jacob and Joseph - then Sisko would be leading the seder, handing out paper copies of the old family haggadot for everyone because it’s not quite right to use a padd for this sort of thing. Joseph is sorry he can’t attend but the two of them spend a week arguing over proper recipes and substitutions and what should be on the restaurant’s menu for the holiday.
Worf knows Pesach, and would be happy to attend. Jadzia’s glad to learn about her husband’s family and their traditions, who’d have a decent chance of finally making it out to the station for a little while. Bashir would bring his own set of Sephardic traditions to the table, and years of lunches with Garak have honed his debate skills to where millennial-old questions about things like kitniyot and “all the days of your life” barely register as challenges.
Kira doesn’t have an easy time with the whole monotheism aspect, but the rest of it, especially the story of being led out of suffering and bondage - she’d be all over that. And Garak doesn’t have much use for religion as a whole, but the other half of the story, of the promise of redemption after exile, would resonate sharply and deeply within him, with him happily attending both seders.
Molly asks the four questions.
