In honor of Passover (one of many holidays of the Jewish faith), the dinner will feature traditional dishes and modern interpretations of foods typically served at a Passover ceremony, called a seder.
A welcome cocktail and canapés are included in this very special multi-course menu of matzo ball soup, traditional Pesach (Passover in Hebrew) plate, roasted leg of lamb with honey and thyme, tzimmes casserole, pears poached in spiced wine, truffled macaroons, and more!
The religious ceremony of Passover seder (meaning “order” or “arrangement”) retells the story of Passover, a remembrance of the Jewish people’s escape from slavery and tyranny in Egypt, over a meal of symbolic dishes.
Learn about the significance of a Passover seder and how it is celebrated in different ways by Jewish people all over the world. Come and enjoy the rich traditions and storied cuisine of the Jewish culture.
