The Seder

The Seder is a ritual meal celebrated by Jewish families during Passover, commemorating the Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. It typically occurs on the first two nights of Passover and follows a specific order, detailed in a book called the Haggadah. The meal includes symbolic foods, such as matzah (unleavened bread) and bitter herbs, and involves reciting prayers, singing songs, and discussing the Exodus story. The Seder emphasizes themes of freedom, family, and tradition, creating a meaningful context for reflection and unity among participants.
