Celebrations celebrated by Jewish People

Looking at celebrations that Jewish people enjoy.

The Passover Seder plate is a special plate. It holds important symbolic foods used during the Passover Seder. The Seder is a special meal where Jewish families remember the story of their ancestors leaving slavery in Egypt.

The Seder plate helps show all the ideas of the Jewish people. It makes the Seder meal unique and helps keep the special foods close by.
