The Passover Seder is a ritual meal celebrated by Jews on the first night (or first two nights) of Passover, commemorating the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. It involves reading the Haggadah, which recounts the story of the Exodus, and includes various symbolic foods and rituals. Key elements include matzah (unleavened bread), maror (bitter herbs), and the recitation of the Four Questions by the youngest participant. The Seder emphasizes themes of freedom, remembrance, and gratitude, fostering a connection to Jewish heritage and history.
