Adults attending a Passover Sedar, held on the first two nights of the Jewish holiday (this year, April 1–9, drink four cups of wine, each representing a stage in the journey from oppression to freedom. One ritual involves dipping a fingertip into wine to symbolize each of the ten plagues. All food and wine on the Seder table are highly symbolic, with bitter herbs representing hardship and sweet charoset (a thick fruit and nut paste, often with wine mixed in) representing hope and unity. The Seder follows a strict sequence to ensure the story is told, the symbolism is understood, and the lessons are discussed.
