For many Jews, the Passover Seder is one of the biggest, most momentous meals they’ll prepare the entire year. No pressure, right?
The eight-day holiday, beginning on April 5 this year, commemorates the exodus of ancient Israelites from Egypt as they escaped slavery and then wandered the desert for 40 years. Many of the foods eaten at the celebratory Seder, held on the first two nights of the holiday, are symbolic of different aspects of the Passover story. Families also tend to have their own culinary traditions rooted in the dishes they make year after year.
