Passover Meal? (serious answers only, please)?

Question

A few years back, at a Church camp, we had a real, traditional Passover meal. It was very detailed (there was a certain way of handwashing, we had to eat each thing when told to, each food had symbolism, there were four cups of grape juice that we drank when told to , etc.). I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to create a dinner similar to this for group of teens at my Church. All serious answers are greatly appreciated! God Bless!

Answer 1

I assume you want the traditional JEWISH seder, and not the one adjusted for Xtianity...in that case, you can pick up a Hagaddah (book that goes through the seder) to guide you through it. It gives you pretty much all the direction you need.

Here is a good page on it:

It's long to explain here, but if you have any questions or need clarifications or detail, feel free to email me.

Answer 2

Well, you need flat bread. So buy some Matzah and learn how to cook it and make it.

Horseraddish can sever as bitter herbs, as can salsa. I suppose CORN chips can sever (I don't think they have leavning in them).

Some meat. Lamb is traditional, some beef.

Burnt fried egg.

There's supposed to be old testiment Bible reading.

Welches can do, but Jews really use Mogan David and it's 3 glasses, the 4th is left sitting there for the missing person.

So can pure water. It can also do.

I personally use Mogan David, a full 24 ounces.

Technically a child, the youngest there, is supposed to ask why you do those things and eat those foods and the Eldest is supposed to explain it.

Since you are Christians I'd also get into the arrest and crusifiction.

I'd also get into the footwashing.

Those are NOT part of the Seder dinner!

If you want to learn more, as a JEwish person if you can visit and sit in on the Seder Dinner. They may let you.

Answer 3

You need to find someone to coach you through the set up, and execution of the meal. A Jewish Rabbi might be an aid. I would find a Pastor who knows, The "Friends of Israel" mission is a good source. A Messianic Jewish group would also be a source of information. I'd ask the Friends of Israel first, unless you could find those who led the service that you mentioned and get their aid.
I think that what you desire to do is very wonderful. I wish you the very best in your pursuit of this activity. A point to remember is the cup, and the bread left over, and not touched in the meal. This, if studied closely, is the bread and drink left for Jesus. In the "Last Supper" description, note the surprise of the Disciples when it mentions that He took "the cup", and broke "the bread". This is because only He, Jesus had the right to touch the particular bread and cup that is mentioned there. Remember, there was bread there, as well as other cups of wine as well. So why the emphasis on "the cup" and "the bread"? The point is as stated, these were reserved for Jesus alone. and He used them at that meal.

Answer 4

I would like to answer seriously. Why would you do this? What possible spiritual help will this give your teen group in dealing with today's problems? I know this isn't the type of answer you are looking for but it amazes me that you would waste time on this--when you could teach these young people how to deal with current problems and issues they have to face everyday. Give them pizza and listen to their needs and problems. Then you will know how to best serve their needs. Blessings.
