What do YOU want to learn in advance of your seder? Happy PRACTICE-ing!!!
What's the BIG idea?The Torah tells us that thousands of years ago, God brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. We re-tell this story each year at Pesah, with special foods and rituals to remind us that WE know what it was like not to be free. The seder also reminds us that we have to help those who are still oppressed, who don't have the freedom to live as they want. It's a great responsibility.
This "Let's Practice" page has songs, blessings and rituals to help YOU get ready for Pesah, its ideas and its ceremonies at the seder table!! |

You are what you eat!Pesah foods remind us of slavery
After watching the video, give some thought to other foods that could remind us of the bitter life of slaves in Egypt. What might you add to your seder table this year? What might you want to eat for dessert that reminds you of freedom? Start cooking!!
