Reservations due for April 3 Passover Freedom Seder 2:10 p.m., March 26, 2007--Reservations are due by tomorrow, Tuesday, March 27, for a Freedom Seder, being held at the Kristol Center for Jewish Life at 7 p.m., Tuesday April 3, the second night of Passover. The event is open to UD students and community members for $18, payable by cash, FLEX, points or meals. The Passover Seder commemorates the redemption of the Jewish people from Egyptian slavery 3,000 years ago. The basic story comes from the Book of Exodus in the Bible. But the themes of the Passover Seder--slavery, oppression, exile, diaspora, redemption, freedom, and liberation--resonate with the historical experience of many peoples. Thus the Freedom Seder commemorates the experience of all peoples who have been enslaved or exiled and includes prayers for the unity and liberation of all humanity. The Passover Seder consists of a series of rituals, involving various prayers, the consumption of ritual foods, the retelling the story of Exodus and the sharing of a full festive meal.
