Text, Questions & Answers

Once upon a time, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. Longing for freedom, they were protected from the last of the ten plagues by marking their doors with lamb s blood. This event, known as Passover, is celebrated every year by Jewish communities. Families gather to share a special meal called the Seder, where each food symbolizes an aspect of the Exodus story. The Matzo, or unleavened bread, represents the haste in which the Israelites left Egypt. The Seder plate holds different items like bitter herbs for the hardships they faced. Children play an important part, asking questions about Passover and searching for the hidden afikomen. Lasting seven or eight days, depending on the community, Passover is a time of remembrance and joy.
