$85 per person (children under 12 half price) PRESENTATION OF THE PASSOVER PLATE
Haggadah's upon request
In their haste to leave Egypt and escape slavery, the Israelites had no time to let dough rise for bread. Their only provision was matzoh, which is made of wheat but not allowed to ferment or rise. It is the bread of both slavery and of freedom.
The roasted lamb bone symbolizes the lamb that was sacrificed at the Holy Temple of Jerusalem on the eve of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt . The blood of that ancient sacrifice was used to mark the doors of the Israelites, so they might be "passed over."
Eggs symbolize the perpetual cycle of life, from birth to death to re-birth.
Fresh horseradish, without beets or vinegar, graces the Seder plate to symbolize the bitterness of slavery .
Fresh parsley represent re-birth and spring.
The greens are traditionally dipped in salt water, which symbolizes the tears of the Hebrew slaves.
A traditional Passover dish, charoset consists of a mixture of chopped fruits, apples, nuts, raisins, spices and wine. The mixture represents the mortar Hebrew slaves used to make bricks for the Pharaoh RamsesII.
