Passover is an important festival in the Jewish calendar commemorating God's
deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt and his creation of the
Israelite people. According to the tradition festival of Passover begins at
sunset on the 14th of Nisan (usually in March or April) and marks the beginning
of seven-day celebration that includes the Feast of Unleavened Bread. One of the
focal points of this eight-day Jewish celebration is a special communal meal
called a Seder. Designed to use food to symbolize ideas, the Seder is a 15-step
ritual based on the Haggadah, a book of instructions, prayers, blessings and
stories that describe the steps in detail. Passover has traditionally been
celebrated in the home with family and friends as they eat meal together. It is
customary to invite guests to share the Seder meal, especially newcomers to the
community. The actual Seder meal in most Jewish homes is an elaborate feast,
with food, games for the children, and plenty of time to tell the story of the
Exodus from Egypt. It is not unusual for Seder to last three to four hours.
Passover is really more than festival. It is an elaborate teaching experience,
especially for the children, intended to call people to their identity as the
People of God. By using all of the senses, the Passover Seder tells the story of
God's grace in history and calls the participants to experience and share in the
story as their own story.
