Chocolate Seder

By Rabbi Ariel Boxman, Director of Lifelong Learning

Temple Shalom Preschool students are getting very excited to celebrate Passover this month! For weeks now, the students have prepared for the holiday with songs, food, crafts and dramatic play.

On Friday, March 26, students in the preschool will enjoy a special chocolate Seder in their classrooms. Instead of the traditional Seder foods, students will enjoy a whole experience with chocolate Seder alternatives. Instead of 4 cups of grape juice, students will enjoy 4 small cups of chocolate milk. Instead of matzah, students will have chocolate covered matzah, and so on! By adding the element of chocolate into the Seder, students experience the excitement of the holiday and have a positive association with the Seder ritual.

If you want to enjoy a chocolate Seder at home as well, you can access the chocolate Haggadah at https://tinyurl.com/ chocolatesederhaggadah. Listed in the Haggadah are all the chocolate substitutions for traditional Seder foods.

We wish you and your family a wonderful Passover holiday and look forward to hearing how you enjoyed the chocolate Seder experience!
