Sweet Seder
Every year for the Passover Seder we retell the story of the hardships that
were faced as the Jewish people escaped from slavery to seek freedom. As we
recall the hardships, we also must realize that Passover is a celebration of
that freedom. Here is a special celebration Seder to help us remember how sweet
freedom is.
Invitations
Purchase blank note cards at your local party store and glue an empty (but
intact) Hershey bar wrapper to the front of the card. On the inside write, "Come
and celebrate the sweet taste of freedom!"
Decorations
Centerpieces - Along the center of the table have a few vases full
of chocolate roses (kosher for Passover of course).
Menu/Activities
Since some of these foods are not kosher for Passover, consider doing it
before Passover instead.
CHOCOLATE SEDER
Written by Cheryl R. Skolnick, [former] Director of Youth Activities,
Chizuk Amuno Congregation, Baltimore, Maryland.
In planning this Passover Seder, be sure to have an abundance of the
various chocolate products listed below.
- Kiddush over chocolate milk (Kiddush)
- Wash the face (Urechatz)
- Green M & M's (Carpas)
- Break middle chocolate matzo (Yachatz)
- Story (Magid)
- Wash face (Rachatz)
- Eat chocolate matzo(Motzi Matzo)
- Bittersweet chocolate (Maror)
- S'mores (Korekh)
- Chocolate fondue (Shulchan Orech)
- Afikomen (Tzafun)
- Grace after sweets (Barech)
- Sing down (Hallel)
- Conclusion (Nirtzah)
KIDDUSH
Blessed art Thou, Eternal our God, Ruler of the Universe, creator of
cocoa beans of the tree. Blessed art Thou, Eternal our G-d, Ruler of the
Universe, who chose us from all congregants and exalted us among
congregations by giving us this holy confection. With pleasure you gave us
this festival for enjoyment; as this day - the feast of chocolate; the
season of our bondage (to the soap) you have chosen us to remember
chocolate, the way it was.
WASH THE FACE (URECHATZ)
EAT SOMETHING GREEN
Blessed are you, forever our God, King of the World, creator of green M
& M's.
Break the Middle Matzo (Magid, Yachatz)
Ha Lachma Anya - This is the chocolate of affliction that are our
forefathers used in South America. All who have a craving, let them come and
eat (because after a little of this you will become sick!). All who are
needy -- they don't need this. Now we are here, hopefully next year we will
be in Hershey Park. Now we are thin -- next year, if we eat all that is
planned, we will be fat.
FOUR QUESTIONS
Why is this night different from all other nights?
- On all other nights, we eat peanut butter, chocolate, or a combination
of both. On this night, why only chocolate?
- On all other nights we eat chocolate of any kind (Hershey, Nestle,
Willy Wonka). On this night, why only Hershey?
- On all other nights we don't even have chocolate fondue, why all of a
sudden this change?
- On all other nights we eat complete, well-balanced meals, why do we
eat only dessert dinner tonight?
ANSWER
TEN PLAGUES
- Thirst
- Cough
- Fat
- Zits
- Cavities
- Worms
- Indigestion
- Cramps
- Diarrhea
- Diabetes
DRINK SECOND CUP OF MILK
Blessed art Thou, Eternal our God, Ruler of the Universe, creator of
cocoa beans of the tree.
WASH THE FACE (RACHATZ)
MOTZI MATZO
Lift three matzot and say:
Praised be You, Creator of sweets and calories who has sanctified us by
commanding our sweet tooth to eat of this delicacy.
EAT THE BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE (MAROR)
EAT THE S'MORES (KORECH)
As a reminder of those many nights of camping around the fire when our
bellies were full and we ate more anyway, we use this sandwich.
SHULCHAN ORECH
REDEEM AND EAT THE AFIKOMEN (TZAFUN)
GRACE AFTER SWEETS (BAREKH)
SING DOWN (HALLEL)
CONCLUSION (NIRTZAH)
I am ready to fulfill the commandment of drinking the last of the Four
Cups. This recalls God's promise to the people of Israel, as it says,
"Drink milk with chocolate so you will not be thirsty as you were
before I took you out of the land of no-milk".
Blessed are Thou, Eternal our God, Ruler of the Universe, creator of
cocoa beans of the tree.
Now our seder is completed, every law and custom fulfilled just as we
have merited to observe it this year, may we continue to do so in the years
to come.
You are pure, dwelling on high, raise up your chocolateless people. Soon
lead the thirsty of your flock redeemed to candy land with joyous song.
Party Favors
After indulging your sweet tooth for the entire evening it would be wise to
offer a "treat bag" with toothpaste, a toothbrush, dental floss, and
some sugarless gum (once again, kosher for Passover).
Have fun, from the Party Girl and
the Party-ettes!
