What is said during the Passover meal?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The Passover meal is at the center of a long liturgy called the Passover Seder. The Seder liturgy is a liturgy for the home, said around the table, and it is long, typically an hour before and after the meal itself several hours. It includes passages from Exodus in The Bible, commentaries about this text, prayers, the Hallel (praise) psalms, blessings before the meal, and grace after meals. Once the preliminary blessings over the food have been said and people get down into serious eating, however, the Seder does not provide a script until the end, when the liturgy resumes with the grace after meals. So, a cute and impertinent answer would be that during the meal itself, normal table conversation resumes.
