The Torah tells us that, at Passover, each family took it's own lamb "from the sheep or from the goats," slaughtered it, and ate the meat together. But how did the families sit?
Were men and women seated together around the table? Were men kept on one side of the table, and women on the other? Were there separate tables? Was there a mechitzah? How tall was it? Was it made from cloth, or did Moses and the elders set up a line of potted plants to keep apart husbands and wives and brothers and sisters?
I ask because CYA over at Kashrut.org is stubbornly asserting, as only he and his brother can, that families sat apart when they ate the korbon pesach. One of his correspondents is asserting the opposing view with near-equal stubbornness. (Perhaps CYA is arguing with his brother?)
Can anyone with, I don't know, real knowledge tell us more?
Update: Miriam tells us more! (PSA: Hasidic members of our audience who might not wish to receive Torah from the lips of a girl, in this case Miriam, are advised not to click. For your benefit, perhaps her father will re-write the post above his own name.)
