Seder Passover Meal


Last week we had a Seder Passover meal with our Jewish professor.
It was beautiful! Just check out our table.
The whole evening was the same evening Jewish families have- you start out with reading a book that takes you through the whole Exodus.
You sing songs, eat symbolic food, say prayers and do all the traditions like washing your hands a certain way and leaving a door open for Elijah.
The whole night is dedicated to remembering how the Lord took his people out of Egypt into Israel.
the food was delicious (except for the bitter herbs haha which was the point) and the grape juice was excellent.
i loved learning the Hebrew songs that the little kids sing as part of the evening.
just another unique and spectacular evening provided by the JC and our hardworking professor!
