Happy

Passover!

The Passover Seder

ס?ֵ?ד?ֶ?ר

[ˈ'sedeʁ?], is a Jewish ritual feast that marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover.

The seder is held on the evening of the 14th day of Nisan

on the Hebrew calendar

(late March or April

according to the Gregorian calendar).

The Seder is a ritual performed by a community

or by multiple generations of a family,

involving a retelling of the story

of the liberation of the Israelites

from slavery in ancient Egypt.

This story is in the Book of Exodus (Shemot)

in the Hebrew Bible. The Seder itself is based on the Biblical verse

commanding Jews to retell the story

of the Exodus from Egypt:

"And you shall tell it to

your son on that day, saying,

'Because of this God did for us

when He took me

out of Egypt.'" (Exodus 13:8)

Traditionally, families and friends gather

in the evening to read the text of the Haggadah,

an ancient work derived from the Mishnah (Pesahim 10).

The Haggadah contains the narrative

of the Israelite exodus from Egypt,

special blessings and rituals,

commentaries from the Talmud,

and special Passover songs.

Seder customs include drinking four cups of wine,

eating matza and partaking of tlinesymbolic foods

placed on the Passover Seder Plate.

The Seder is performed in much the same

way by Jews all over the world.
