If it helps, that Irish band you mentioned is currently experiencing a serious backlash both from their label and from the UK government counterterrorism police. Not because they support the deaths of hundreds of Jews and terrorist organizations that kill Jews, that's apparently fine, but because they called for their audience to kill British politicians. Which is also quite informative.
Chaya Leah, to answer your question of how to not care what people think or say about you: Please listen to or read Mel Robbins latest book 'Let Them' it's absolutely incredible and will transform your life. It's a must read and has gone quite viral since it's launch.
Re: Passover Plagues. My family is blended Jewish/Christian and we celebrate Passover (it has become one of my favorite holidays) usually with my husband’s family and sometimes with friends. None of us are terribly observant and we all use the same “30 Minute Seder” ChayaLeah, you would hate it; I kinda hate it 🤣 But if you’re starting from a place that is watered down to begin with, then you easily get to “hahaha … it’s raining frogs!” Add to this how many people around our table are atheists who “just want to preserve tradition” (eat brisket) and things keep getting weirder.
Listen, at least you’re having a Seder!!! I’m impressed with any family doing anything at this point! There are so many Jewish families doing nothing to observe the holiday. So, enjoy your brisket and your frogs!!
Actually the best moment from our Seder was when we lit all of the candles and my oldest son was upset because he is very afraid of fire and fire alarms. I said “God is with us in this room and He is protecting us so nothing bad will happen” and he calmly sat down and the candles no longer bothered him. I was actually shocked because we don’t even do birthday candles —it’s that bad, but he was calmed and God is bigger than the candles. 🕯️
