What is prepared on the table in Passover meal?
Seder plate Arrange five items on the plate: a hard-boiled egg; a roasted shank bone; a spring vegetable such as parsley, called karpas; a mixture of fruit, wine, and nuts, called charoset; and either prepared or fresh horseradish, called maror.
How did the Israelites develop?
Modern Israel has its origins in the Zionism movement, established in the late 19th century by Jews in the Russian Empire who called for the establishment of a territorial Jewish state after enduring persecution. Herzl became the leader of Zionism, convening the first Zionist Congress in Switzerland in 1897.

Why do we drink 4 cups of wine at Passover?
During a Seder, each adult diner drinks four cups of wine, representing the redemption of the Israelites from slavery under the Egyptians. A fifth cup is reserved for the prophet Elijah in hopes he will visit during the celebration; representing future redemption, it is left unconsumed.
How did Moses help the Israelites in Egypt?
So Moses encouraged them saying that God would protect them. Then the angel of God – the pillar of cloud – moved between the Egyptian army and the Israelites. When morning came Moses stretched out his hand over the sea – he did not strike a rock – and the sea separated.
Why did Israel leave Egypt and go to the wilderness?
The full import of Israel’s meandering journey comes “when we realize that Israel’s experiences in the wilderness are both literal and allegorical of our own experiences.” 1 In Egypt, Israel was in bondage, as we are in bondage to sin. They left via a baptism-like experience across the Red Sea and undertook their wanderings in the wilderness.
Why did the Israelites send Moses to converse with God alone?
