The central event of the weeklong festival of Passover is the Passover Seder, a special meal and religious service held around the dinner table. Seders are a big deal, even in the non-observant community. People invite relatives, friends and strangers to their tables. The food is usually opulent, and the liturgy is both a bit on the long side and yet, for many participants, fun. The liturgy for the Seder is typically led by the head of household, with everyone following in a book called the Hagaddah, and frequently, participants take turns reading many passages, and singing along with the parts that are set to misic. To give you an idea of how fun this gets, there is even at least one traditional melody for the table of contents of the Hagaddah.
