Seder Meal

So even though Passover is in the spring (I think) our Israel professor, Ophir Yarden, walked us through a traditional Seder meal!  It was very hard to only eat certain things at certain times.  We Americans are far to used to just stuffing our faces all at once! haha

There is a hebrew book that was written specifically for the Seder meal at passover.  It consists of different songs, poems, and explanations as to why we eat certain things in the meal and what they represent.  It also gives instructions of when and how to eat what.

The meal consisted of a lot of raising up a glass of grape juice and then taking a sip.  Jerusalem grape juice is not as sweet as American grape juice.

This is the Seder book.

The committee did a beautiful job setting the tables.

This is where we had to ritually purify our hands before eating.

Yay for my awesome roommates... and Stehly.

The Seder meal was a very fun, cultural experience!  It's always great to learn more about our neighbors. :)
