Where to begin?

After purchasing the Passover Haggadah, make sure you download it within 24 hours from the link sent to your email. The PDF can be read directly from your device, or you can print it out at home.

In preparation of the meal, there are a few things to purchase if you don’t already have them on hand.

For this Passover Seder, you’ll need to purchase and prepare the following to set on the “seder plate” (or any large plate or cutting board will do!)

  • Karpas (parsley)

  • Salt Water (mix salt into warm water and place in a small bowl, ensure it is Very Salty)

  • Bitter Herbs (horseradish--either fresh or the kind found in a jar refrigerated in the deli)

  • Apple Charoset (see recipe, below)

  • Roasted Lamb Shank (prepare in any way you like; if lamb isn’t in the budget, purchase something as a look-a-like. Remember, there’s freedom!)

  • Wine or grape juice, of course

  • Matzah, or some other cracker that has a similar quality.

  • A meal you can share together during the Intermission for the ‘Passover Meal’. This can be as casual as soup and salad or as fancy as you like. The important thing is that you feast together.

For supplies for the Seder, you will need

  • 2 candles + lighter or matches

  • a white cloth or napkin in which to wrap the special matzah, see page 9

  • a wine glass for all

  • a pitcher and bowl or just a bowl of water, along with a towel, for ceremoniously washing hands around the table

  • a prize for the one who finds the hidden Matzah on page 22. You’ll understand when you get there!
