The Trials and Tribulations of the Passover Seder

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Muhlenberg chapter.

Passover is the major Jewish spring holiday. It commemorates the Jews, or Israelites, escaping slavery and crossing the Red Sea out of ancient Egypt, gaining freedom under the leadership of Moses. It lasts eight days from the 15th day of Nisan.

Passover is a great holiday filled with family, food, and celebration. However, the seders can be quite tiring. There are 9 parts of the Haggadah you have to go through before you get to the 10th (and most important), the food portion. 

Get that Manischewitz wine and drink up!

DO NOT drink too much though! You DO NOT want your Bubi seeing you like this.

No gluten pasta for Jews!

You have to eat Matzah.

You CANNOT eat unleavened bread. No cheeseburgers!

Jews have to get rid of all the bread in their house one way or another.

Make sure you know what you’re talking about during the Seder or you’ll look like this…

Celebrate! Make sure to eat, drink, dance, and sing.
