Passover commemorates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt and celebrates freedom. A Passover seder is the main ritual for this holiday and usually occurs on the first and/or second night. It is a festive meal that involves the retelling of the Passover story (fleeing Egypt) and features eating special foods, singing songs and reclining in a comfortable position. Most of the Passover learning and activity exploration my family does is about retelling the Passover story and exploring the current customs and traditions.
The Passover story is a pretty dark one. For the younger ages I don’t go into a lot of intense details about the sad parts of the story, but I do want my children to know the basics: Jews were slaves in Egypt, Moses is a main character of the story and ends up saving the Jewish people when he finally got the Pharaoh to “let his people go,” and now we celebrate this story of freedom by keeping kosher for Passover and having a Passover seder.
We have had such a wonderful time exploring this important holiday over the past years. I hope you find some inspiration for a fun and meaningful learning experience with your family!
