Passover Web Quest

 

On April 19, Jews around the world will celebrate the beginning of Passover with Seders in their homes.  Passover is the most celebrated Jewish holiday.  Everyone plays a part in the Seder.  Children are encouraged to ask questions.  In fact, the youngest child asking questions is an important part of the Seder.

 

Whether you are the youngest child, the oldest child or somewhere in the middle, spend some time doing this webquest and learn a little more about the holiday celebration.
