The Passover seder meal is a special ritual meal for which family and friends gather to commemorate the story of the Exodus. It is held on the first night of the holiday among Reform Jews and Jews in Israel and on the first and second nights among other Jewish groups and congregations in the Jewish Diaspora. Participants read from the Haggadah, which provides readings about the Exodus, details the parts of the ceremony and the wine and symbolic foods consumed, and offers religious interpretations. Four questions—including, “Why does this night differ from all other nights?”—are asked by a child and then answered as part of the Passover seder.
