The Exodus from Egypt. Passover (called 'Pesach' in Hebrew) commemorates the exodus of the Children of Israel, or Jews, from slavery in Egypt. "Exodus" means "to leave", and it comes from the same Latin root as the English word "exit". The second book of the Bible is called "Exodus". "Exodus" is also the name of a movie about the birth of modern Israel.
Moses. Moses was born to Hebrew slaves in Egypt. His sister, Miriam, saved him by sending him down the Nile in a basket, where an Egyptian princess found him. Despite the fact that he was raised in the palace, Moses challenged Pharaoh's authority and led his people out of Egypt.
| Before the Passover holiday, Jewish families do a very thorough house-cleaning. They need to get rid of something that is usually in every home. What is it? | Passover for Kids
|
Bread and other leavened food. The Hebrew slaves in Egypt had very little time to get ready to leave Egypt. In fact, they didn't have time to let their bread rise, so they made unleavened bread, called "matzo", instead. Before Passover, Jewish families need to remove all bread and leavened food from their homes.
| Passover begins with a special meal, called "seder". Kids have a special role in opening the seder. What is it? | Passover for Kids
|
They ask four questions. While children can certainly help by doing all the things mentioned in the wrong answers, the special role of kids is to ask four questions at the beginning of the seder meal. These four questions all begin with the verse, "Why is this night different from all other nights?" The adults then answer the questions by telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt.
| During the seder meal, there is a story about four different sons - a wise son, a bad son, a simple son, and one who does not yet know how to talk. What is the parent supposed to do for the child who does not know how to talk?
| Passover for Kids
|
Tell him the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The "son who does not know how to talk" is probably a very young child. Despite the fact that he or she is small, the parents are still supposed to tell their child about the Exodus from Egypt, and about all the miracles that occurred.
| There is a special glass of wine placed in the middle of the seder table. Who is this wine for? | Passover for Kids
|
The Prophet Elijah. According to Jewish tradition, the Prophet Elijah makes the rounds of all the Jewish homes in the world, and takes a sip from the special glass placed for him on the table! Somehow, the glass is empty at the end of the meal.
| During the seder meal, the participants spill out some of the wine or grape juice from their glasses. Why do they do this? | Passover for Kids
|
To remember the ten plagues. When Moses first approached Pharaoh and asked him to "let my people go", Pharaoh was very stubborn and would not release the Hebrew slaves. The Lord sent ten plagues to Egypt. Only after the Egyptians suffered terribly through the plagues did Pharaoh agree to release the slaves. We spill out a little of our wine in remembrance of the suffering of the Egyptians, and to teach us not to rejoice in the pain of our enemy.
| At the beginning of the seder, the leader takes one piece of the unleavened bread, matzo, and puts it aside. What do the kids do with this special piece? | Passover for Kids
|
Steal it. This piece of matzo is called the "afikoman". In order to finish the seder, all the people at the table have to eat a little piece of it. The children "steal" the matzo from the table, and ask for a special present in return for the afikoman. In some families, the grown-ups hide the afikoman, and the child who finds it receives a prize.
