Frankston Interfaith Network, Jewish Christian Muslim Association and the Uniting Church Frankston, invite you to a model ‘Jewish Seder Meal’ during Holy Week.
You are invited to participate in a Jewish Seder Meal during the week before Easter (called Holy Week in Christianity). Frankston Interfaith Network, JCMA and Uniting Church of Frankston invite you to enjoy a friendly, light meal and find out more about the symbols and rituals of the Seder meal.
A Passover seder is a service held at home as part of the Passover celebration. It is always observed on the first night of Passover, and in some homes on the second night as well. On both nights, the seder concludes with a dinner. Participants use a book called the Haggadah to lead the service. “Hagaddah” means “the telling,” in Hebrew, and it contains instructions for the seder, blessings and the Passover story.
The word “seder” literally means “order” in Hebrew. The name comes from the fact that there are 15 parts of the ritual service, all revolving around the upcoming Passover dinner. Food is an important symbolic element of Passover.
