If you're looking for tips on how to host a Passover Programs Seder, look no further. In this article, Rabbi Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi offers some helpful suggestions.

Creating a charoset
When it comes to creating a charoset for a Seder, many people are unsure of what to use. Many recipes include dates, walnuts, and wine, but there is a different version that is made by many Jewish families today. Many also use dried fruit with nuts. This traditional dessert can be made into balls to represent the mortars that the Jewish used to bury their dead in Egypt. You can also eat it by the spoonful.
The charoset is a traditional food served during the Jewish spring holiday of Passover. This holiday occurs during the Jewish calendar month of Nisan, which corresponds to the secular months of March and April. It commemorates the liberation of the Jewish from slavery under the Egyptian Pharaoh and lasts for seven to eight days. Seders are meals during which families retell the story of the Exodus and eat symbolic foods.
Keeping chametz out
Keeping chametz out when hosting remembrances of Pesach is a very important tradition, as the prohibition against eating chametz begins one hour before the holiday's midday start. Evangelicals, in particular, are not known for getting even the yeast in their LARP creations correct. While the prohibition against eating chametz is strictly enforced, this doesn't mean that you can't keep a little challah or chocolate in the house. Instead, you can board up pantries, sell grain to non-Jewish neighbors, and let them buy it back once the holiday is over.
When it comes to food, you can keep chametz out by using only foods that have been specifically kosher for the holiday. For example, you may serve a vegetable such as potato or onion at the Seder. Keeping chametz out requires taking special care to avoid any traces of the chametz. If you're worried about the presence of chametz, you can always place a bowl of saltwater near the plate.
Singing together at a Passover Seder
One of the most cherished home traditions is a Seder. Many people have fond memories of singing together as they told the story of the Exodus. The ritual dates back to the Exodus and has been followed ever since. The Seder is a time for worship and learning. The Seder provides an opportunity to reflect on the Jewish faith and history and to live vicariously through the events of the Exodus.
The Seder meal traditionally begins with the dipping of a hard-boiled egg in salt water and ends with the eating of the afikoman, which is a small matzo, shaped like an olive. The family members sit at the table wearing holiday clothes. The leader of the Seder awards a prize to the person who finds the afikoman. Afterward, children are encouraged to hide the afikoman and search for it, demanding a prize as a reward.
Cleaning up after a Passover Seder
Before hosting a Passover Seder, it is important to clean up any traces of chametz. While it is tempting to wash every piece of clothing, this is not necessary. If you have enough clothes for the holiday, you can make do without washing everything. Moreover, you should dispose of any chametz you found, ensuring that you did not bring it home with you. You should also sweep or vacuum the floors.
Cleaning up chametz does not only include getting rid of inedible chametz, but also cleaning the kitchen and other surfaces. You can also use a microwave or toaster oven instead of a conventional oven. If you do not have a conventional oven, you can purchase a Passover toaster oven or microwave. Cleaning up after a Seder requires a bit of work, but will be worth it in the end.
