The Seder (pronounced 'say-der', meaning 'order' in Hebrew) is a special Jewish ceremonial dinner revolving around the story of Exodus. The Seder is held on the first evening of Passover in Israel and the first and second evenings outside Israel. The Seder relives the Biblical exodus of the formerly enslaved Jewish people from Egypt. Jewish families take turns reading from the Haggadah during the Seder, which tells the story of the Exodus. It also includes rabbinical commentary on various Passover customs.
