Abrahamic House DC invited guests to their community Passover Seder.
A Jewish Passover Seder is a ritual feast that commemorates the Exodus of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt.
Together the fellows and their guests:
read from a book called the Haggadah, which tells the story of the Exodus
went through the 15 steps of the Seder
ate matzah (unleavened bread)
drank 4 cups of wine (or grape juice)
had a hearty meal
recited blessings and prayers, sang songs and asked questions.
The incomparable Austen led a packed house in the songs, prayers, and rituals of Passover. It was a joy to see people of all faiths, all ages, and all backgrounds taking part in these ancient rituals together.
