“ORDER” – a religious meal served on the 15^th night of the month ABIB (NISAN) to commence the festival of Passover (Pesach).  Though Passover commemorates the exodus, the historical deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage in the days of Moses, Jews are mindful that this event was a prelude to God’s revelation on Mount Sinai.  For each participant; therefore, the SEDER is an occasion to relive the Exodus as a personal spiritual event.  The religious nature of the SEDER with its carefully prescribed ritual makes the dinner quite unlike family dinners held on civil holidays.  Each food is a representative of an experience of the Children of Israel while in bondage.
