SederRitual meal served on the first night of Passover, commemorating the flight of the Jews from Egypt. Presided over by the head of the family, the Seder follows a liturgy, the Haggadah, that reminds participants of the story of the Exodus. The ritual includes blessings, the pouring of wine, and ritual questions about the meaning of the event (“Why does this night differ from all other nights?”) asked by the youngest child present. The meal includes unleavened bread and bitter herbs, the bread symbolizing the haste with which the Israelites left Egypt and the herbs symbolizing the bitterness of slavery. A cup of wine is poured for Elijah, the precursor of the messiah. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The strong rituals and symbolism of the Seder nights brings back memories of past Sedarim with family, creating a feeling of connection all the way back to our ancient brethren in Egypt some 3,750 years ago, as they waited for the moment when they could at last leave the House of Slavery. Moreover, because he was so determined to keep the young men on the right track, he was equally ready to rejoice wholeheartedly with them, entering fully into the hilarity of Simhat Torah as well as the joy of lively sedarim for Pesach, which were followed by dancing and revelry sprinkled with rabbinic sayings, laws, and midrashim all through the night. The temple is sponsoring a communitywide Seder, or Passover feast, Thursday following the traditional family Sedarim that take place Wednesday evening. |
