festive meal read on the first night of the Passover holiday where families read the Haggadah and eat special foods
The Passover Seder (
Hebrew: סֵדֶר, , "order", "arrangement") is a
Jewish ritual feast held on the first night of the
Jewish holiday of
Passover (the 15th day of Hebrew month of
Nisan). Outside of Israel, the Seder is held twice, on the first and second nights of Passover (the 15th and 16th days of
Nisan). According to the Gregorian calendar, the holiday usually comes out in April. Families gather around the table on the night of Passover to read the
Haggadah, the story of the Israelite exodus from Egypt. Seder customs include drinking of four cups of wine, eating
matza and partaking of symbolic foods placed on the
Passover Seder Plate. The Seder is a family ritual, although communal Seders are also organized by synagogues, schools and community centers. These Seders are usually open to the general public. With the Haggadah serving as a guide, the Seder is performed in much the same way all over the world.
