Frogs are hands-down the best plague of the 10 plagues upon Egypt. Nile turning into blood? Gross. Flies? Annoying. Death of the firstborn? Kind of intense. You get the picture.
Meanwhile, my case for frogs being the best plague is as follows: Sure, the amphibians would be absolutely everywhere, but at least they’re cute. The Egyptians could have thought of it as less of a plague and more of a ton of free pets. Unless, of course, you abide by Rabbi Akiva’s interpretation that, the plague “was one frog, and it filled all the land of Egypt.” Without a doubt, Mega Frogzilla would be a much scarier plague. But at the same time, that’s still cool as hell.
Perhaps it’s because others agree with me, but there is an absolutely startling amount of frog-themed Passover kitsch out there. (Sorry boils, sucks to suck.) So if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by choice, don’t worry. We here at Hey Alma have got you.
Here are all the frog-themed (and a few non-amphibious) kitsch you absolutely need for Passover this year. Happy (hoppy?) shopping and an early chag Pesach sameach!
