How to celebrate Passover?

[Latoya]

I'm studying Judaism and I would love information on how Jews celebrate Passover.

A seder. Typically the family and friends gather at someone's home, and the seder involves traditional foods and reading of the Haggadah which includes the story of Passover and various prayers. Every family has their own special traditions for their seder. Then for the 8 days of the holiday we avoid certain foods, and some folks go to services.

We have a seder - which is when the whole family has a huge dinner with singing songs and telling the passover story..we also have a seder plate which has a variety of different symbolic foods on it...we have matzah (flat bread) to remember that when the Jewish people were leaving Egypt they baked bread and they didn't have enough time to let it rise so the dough "bread" ended up flat. We also don't eat any bread items (such as cookies, crackers...etc..) or just anything with yeast because we wanna remember what it was like for the Jewish people back then and what they had to go through!

Hope that helps...i'm Jewish so if you wanna know more let me know!
