At the Seder meal we retell the story of the Exodus from Egypt, reading from the Passover Haggadah. The ceremony and Haggadah includes: blessings over wine, washing the hands, eating the sprig of parsley dipped in salt water, breaking the middle of the three matzos, reading the declaration which explains the connection between the matzos and what happened in Egypt, retelling the Seder-teachings of the Sages of Yavneh, thanking God for His protection, reading Deuteronomy 26:5-8 interspersed with verses of explanation from Exodus ch.12, enumerating the plagues, pointing out the significance of the items on the Seder plate, reading the Hallel-praises (Psalms 113-118), sayings blessings over the matzoh and bitter herbs and eating them, and much more. There are traditional songs which are also sung.
