Discuss:

• What is it called ‘Passover’?
• What are the four questions? Why are they important?
• What is a seder? What does it mean when something symbolizes a bigger idea??
  What do each of the foods shared during this meal symbolize? How do these practices like this help people of faith remember their history?
• Why was it so important for people of the Jewish faith to celebrate Passover even (especially) when Jewish traditions were banned?
• Why is it important to remember our family’s cultural and faith history?
