Kona Beth Shalom held the Passover Seder Friday evening, carrying on the tradition of the most celebrated feast in the world.
Starting at sundown, the feast celebrates the going forth of the Jewish people from slavery to freedom. Passover began Friday evening and ends in the evening of April 7. It is one of the most important religious festivals in the Jewish calendar.
The seder, a festive holiday meal on the first day of Passover, actually means “order.” The meal is done in a certain order, full of symbolism, readings, storytelling, singing and the eating of special foods. See more photos online and on page 5A.
