The Passover Seder meal is a central tradition of the Jewish holiday of Passover (Pesach). It is a ceremonial dinner that commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt, as described in the Book of Exodus.
During the Seder, participants retell the story of the Exodus through a prescribed order of rituals, readings, and symbolic foods. These rituals include the eating of matzah (unleavened bread), bitter herbs (maror), and the consumption of four cups of wine or grape juice. Other symbolic foods on the Seder plate include a roasted shank bone (zeroa), a boiled egg (beitzah), and a mixture of apples, nuts, spices, and wine (charoset).
The Seder is a time for families and communities to come together, reflect on their history, and celebrate freedom and redemption.
This tells us that some foods were not made for hunger but for cultural ceremonies. Culture matters. And have meanings for sharing in thejr cultures.
