Tell the Story

Passover's high point is the Seder. Experiencing this wonderful Jewish meal and interactive "happening" is to live through all the varied themes of the Passover festival. Most Jews have cherished memories of family time spent at a Seder. It is believed that the obligation to tell the story of the Exodus has been observed by Jews ever since Moses led the actual Exodus itself.

In Hebrew, Seder means order, and at the heart of the Seder is the Haggaddah, a Passover guidebook that spells out the order in which you and your family and friends can observe our ancient traditions and add new ones of your own.

To get you started on your holiday observances, we are pleased to offer you a simple printable Haggadah from The Jewish Federations of North America, containing the basic information needed to conduct a Passover Seder, from setting up a Seder plate to asking the Four Questions.

Haggadahs come in a wide variety of style representing many different traditions; you'll find links to ours and several additional downloadable options below.
