Dear Mrs Figgins:

I’m new in town and have made a good friend at work.

She’s invited me to her home for Passover. 

I’m Christian so I know what Passover is, but don’t know “sadar”.  Is there an appropriate gift I can bring to their home?

Dear Sandi:

Passover or “Pesach” commemorates the deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.

It is celebrated for eight days with special prayers and symbolic foods at home, starting with the “Seder,” a ritual meal that re-enacts that ancient deliverance and emphasizes the freedom of the Jews under the guidance of God.

Seder is the most important event in the Passover celebration. Usually gathering the whole family and friends together, the Seder is steeped in long held traditions and customs.

Dietary restrictions during the holidays are adhered to during the holidays.   A bottle of kosher wine or flowers are always lovely.

I know you will have a very special and memorable.

Chag Same’ach!

Mrs Figgins
