In this mini project, you will create an invitation to your Seder Dinner. The Seder is the wonderful ritual family meal that Jewish people use to celebrate and remember God's deliverance of the Hebrew people from the hand of Pharoh. The Seder is a key element in the celebration of Passover. Follow the instructions below and have fun!
This is a complete "service book" including prayers, explanations and pictures. It is designed for families with younger children who might not be able to sit through a 3 hour celebration. It gives a very nice overview to the experience. Start here with this resource. Then the others will make more sense. OPENING THE DOCUMENT WILL REQUIRE A PASSWORD. THE PASSWORD IS : mu45u7gv
You might also try the All Saints' Library links. Any others you find, please post here.
