365 things to do in Worcester County - Celebrate Passover with Seder in Holden. Today we officially celebrate the Passover holiday with our family by reading the Hagada (a guide book) and eating a celebratory meal.
Sader literally means Order and there is a set order to the proceedings:
Kaesh - Recite the kiddush, a blessing over the wine that starts the evening. Wash the hands, eat the green vegetable, Break the middle matzah, Tell the story of Pesach, Wash the hands. Say the Ha Motzi, and then for the Matzah, eat the bitter herb. Eat bitter herb with matzah. Serve the festive meal. Eat the Matzha that was hidden for children to find (afikomen). Say the grace after the meals. Recite the Hallel (sing the song of prayer) and conclude the seder. In conclusion we say "Next Year in Jerusalem".
This is one of the highest holidays for the Jewish people. We remember that God led us out of slavery and gave us the ten commandments. It is a bitter sweat meal with a lot of symbolism of suffering and redemtions and if you have an opportunity to experience, you will really enjoy this as one of your 365 things to do in Worcester County - Celebrate Passover with seder in Holden.
