Tomorrow night we start the 8 day long holiday of Passover, which celebrates the Jewish people’s Exodus from Egypt. On the first two nights, we have a special meal called the Seder. During the Seder, there are special foods placed on a special Seder plate. Simon made his own plate at school:
Simon also made his own Hagaddah, which is the book we use at the Seder.
“In every generation one must look upon himself as if he personally had gone out of Egypt.”
These are not all of the pages, but some of them! They read from right to left.
The Seder plate / The first cup of wine
Washing hands / Breaking the middle matzah
Asking the four questions / We talk about leaving Egypt
The four sons / Hashem (God) split the sea
The second cup of wine / We eat the matzah
The sandwich of matzah and maror (bitter herbs) / We eat the meal
Afikomen (more matzah) / Next year in Jerusalem!
Simon also made a bag for his own Afikomen:
One side is English and one is Hebrew!
