WELCOME
WELCOME
Tonight we celebrate
the holiday of Passover.
At dinner tables around the world, families sit together to tell the
story of how the Jewish people went free from slavery in Egypt.
The seder is a meal at which people sing, ask questions, and tell
stories. Some of the stories are from the Torah, the first five books
of the Bible, that tell about the beginnings of the Jewish people.
At the seder, we travel back in time to ancient Egypt. Our guide for
the journey is this Haggadah (hah-gah-DAH), which means
“telling” in Hebrew. Telling the Passover story helps us feel that
we ourselves are going free from slavery tonight.
To set the scene, we light candles and bless the children.
