-
Step 1
Invite your family and friends for this special night. To make things easier on yourself, ask people to bring a special dish so that you don't have to do all the cooking yourself.
-
Step 2
Use your special dishes. Some people only use these dishes during Passover, particularly if they are keeping strictly Kosher for the holiday.
-
Step 3
For the seder plate have a central location but be sure to have several places on the table for the charosis, salt water, parsley, etc. It will make things much easier to distribute.
-
Step 4
Choose a Haggadah that will work for young and old and involve children as much as possible. In addition to having them read the 4 questions, have them repeat the ten plagues after the leader. There are also stores that offer a bag of the 10 plagues. Kids love to have something they can touch. Of course, don't forget the hunt for the Afikomen. Choose a prize that is simple but something boys or girls would enjoy.
-
Step 5
Don't forget the singing. It will definitely add to the event. Find someone ahead of time that knows the major tunes to the prayers and other songs so that they can keep everyone else in tune.
-
Step 6
Invite some non-Jewish friends to celebrate the event. It will be a cross cultural experience that they won't forget if they've never experienced a Seder.
