WHAT IS A HUNGER SEDER?
LEADER: Each year, Jews across the world join with family, friends, neighbors, and strangers to celebrate the holiday of Passover with a symbolic meal called a seder. But why? What is behind this tradition?
Seder means “order.” The ordered rituals and symbols of the Passover seder help us to tell the story of the Jewish people’s liberation from slavery in Egypt.
(Leader holds up the Seder Plate and briefly explains the ritual items and what they symbolize.)
For today’s seder we choose to recognize that while the Jewish people may be free, not everyone has cause for celebration. Many people, even in a free society such as ours, are bound by the hardships and challenges of their circumstances. We come together today with them in mind, determined to realize our vision of a day when we will all be truly free from the oppression of hunger.
LEADER Let us honor this moment by joining together in song:
SONG: HINEI MAH TOV
הִנֵה†מַה†טּוֹב†וּמַה†נָעִים
שֶבֶת†אַחִים†גַם†יָחַד.
Hineh mah tov u’ma-na’im shevet achim gam yachad.
How good it is for brothers and sisters
to be together.
