Rabbi Evan Hoffman at Congregation Anshe Sholom described Passover in a message to the congregation: "The Seder night has always been my favorite night of the year. Every year on Erev Pesach I would eagerly count down the hours, while busily setting the table, making the charoset, and preparing the Haggadah. The Seder is an exhilarating mix of religious fervor, Jewish pride, family togetherness, and artistic pageantry. Fond memories of Seders past will last a lifetime."
The holiday is a time to reflect on the Jews' freedom from slavery. It intends to foster a sense of solidarity with those suffering in society today.
"The focus of the evening is a detailed retelling of our ancestors’ exodus from Egypt over three thousand years ago," Hoffman said. "The Bible states that our children will question some of the holiday rituals, thereby opening up a discussion of Jewish history to be conducted by the head of the household."
