Embracing Traditions: A Family Passover Celebration

Passover is a time-honored celebration that brings families together to remember and rejoice in the story of liberation. It’s a festival rich in tradition, from the Seder meal to the reading of the Haggadah, each element of Passover is infused with meaning and history. Here’s how you can create a memorable Passover with your family, complete with traditional practices, staple foods, and a little help to ensure you can savor every moment.

The Heart of the Home: The Seder Table

First, the Seder table is the centerpiece of Passover, where the story of Exodus is retold, and symbolic foods are shared. Set your table with care, placing the Seder plate at its center, each item representing a piece of the Passover story. The matzah, maror (bitter herbs), charoset (a sweet paste), karpas (vegetable), z’roa (shank bone), and beitzah (egg) all play their roles in the retelling of the Jewish people’s journey from slavery to freedom.  Our Helpers can work with your event decorator to ensure your vision comes to life.

Staple Foods of Passover

Second, Passover cuisine is a delicious journey through tradition. Embrace the family tradition and begin with matzah, the unleavened bread that symbolizes both the Israelites’ suffering and their hasty departure from Egypt. Savor the sweetness of charoset, a mixture of fruits, nuts, and wine that represents the mortar used by the Israelites in their forced labor. Bitter herbs, like horseradish, remind us of the bitterness of slavery.

For the main course, dishes like roasted chicken, brisket, or gefilte fish are often served alongside kugel or tzimmes, a sweet carrot and fruit dish. And for dessert, macaroons and flourless cakes are a delightful way to end the meal on a sweet note.
