Preparing for the Model Seder

Fourth grade is preparing to present the "Vehi She'amdah" in the Maggid section of the seder. Here are some pictures of the fourth graders creating a project to illustrate the meaning of the Vehi She'amdah.

Please remember to where nice Shabbat clothing for our model seder tomorrow!

Pesach- Urchatz, Karpas and Yachatz

Here are some pictures of 4th grade learning about the "Urchatz", "Karpas" and "Yachatz" steps of the seder:

Karpas

Dipping a vegetable in salt water to remind us of the tears that the Jewish People cried while they were in slavery

There are many different customs: Some dip a green vegetable like parsley or celery and some dip a potato or even an onion!

Dipping Karpas into salt water

Reacting to the taste of salty tears

Yachatz

Breaking the middle matzah.

We hide the bigger half for the Afikoman and we put the smaller half back in the middle to remind us of the Jewish People's slavery while we tell the story of Pesach.

Practicing by breaking little mini matzah crackers.
