Passover Seder
Jewish liberation feast
A Passover Seder is the ceremonial meal held on the first night (or first two nights) of Passover, the Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' exodus from Egypt.
The evening follows a set order—seder means "order" in Hebrew—of prayers, songs, symbolic foods, and readings from the Haggadah.
We're hosting the Seder this year.
