The Passover Seder is one of the most common Jewish celebrations. Yet there are often variations as the number of homes it is celebrated in. This class will offer you a crash course to prepare for a fantastic Seder, analyzing the Haggadah; Why do we have four cups of wine? How many different answers are there to the four questions, the meanings to the matzah, the maror and karpas? Attendees will canvass a variety of traditions and rituals, deepening their understanding and connection to this vital Jewish experience.
