There is also a Seder Plate which holds ritual foods that signify the bitterness of slavery and the sacifices the Israelites made in ancient times.

You can learn about Passover, the rituals including the Passover Seder, customs and items associated with this Jewish holiday, and get some delicious Jewish recipes. There will also be handmade Passover, Jewish, Judaica and secular items available. EtsyChai team members are located around the world, including the United States and Israel.
