Passover: Seder Meal

This is a fully editable and informative 70-slide PowerPoint presentation on the Jewish Festival of Passover or Pesach (Hebrew) which is celebrated for seven or eight days in April each year.

The presentation focuses on:

Why Passover is celebrated and how it got its name – the ten plagues, the exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian captivity across the Red Sea led by Moses.

The Seder meal – the Seder plate and the symbolic significance of all the foods on the plate.

The rituals followed at the Seder meal – breaking the matzah, reading from the ‘Haggadah’, the Seder cushion to ‘lean’ on. The tradition of the youngest child asking the four questions, the spilling of drops of wine on to the plate.

The PowerPoint also contains two hyperlinks. One to a short 4 minute animated version of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and a 4-minute pop/rap of the Seder meal which should appeal to teenagers.

A slightly shorter (60 slides), simple text version of this presentation, more appropriate for younger and SEN pupils, is also available:
