The Demonstration Seder:
After the guests are seated we begin a short explanation of the items placed on the Seder table. Then: "Welcome to our Passover Seder. Let us celebrate the Exodus from Egypt; God's redemptive liberation of Israel from Slavery. Passover starts with the lighting of two candles accompanied by a blessing." A blessing is said which is based on the much longer traditional ones usually said at a Seder in a Jewish home. Then a brief telling of the basis for the celebration of Passover and its connection to the Last Supper Jesus shared with his disciples. Our Pot-luck dinner is then enjoyed by all, followed by the Mass.
