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?
