While living in the Bay Area, I have a valuable opportunity to experience many interesting food cultures. By doing my report on cultural traditions, I am inspired to enrich my knowledge in the culture I have little knowledge about. Through interview presentations, personal experiences shared by students, and several indicative food suggestions from the instructor, I gained interest in different eating habits and food symbolisms. After doing a little research on each topic to decide what I'm really interested in, I chose to learn more about the Seder plate in the Passover tradition. The meanings of the celebration as well as the symbolic foods are intertwined with the Jewish history of over 210 years of slavery in Egypt. Although I learned about the cruelty of slavery, I never knew of any celebrated holiday to commemorate on the journey to freedom from slavery. I am curious to understand how the symbolic foods emphasized in this holiday represent the experiences the Israelites had and their passage to freedom. Passover (also known as Pesach in Hebrew) is one of the holiest holidays in the Jewish calendar and the longest continuous ritual in human history. Since 1300 BC, Jews have celebrated this tradition to commemorate the national freedom of the children of Israel and remember the stories behind the departure of the Israelites from the land of Egypt. Spring weather signifies the season of Passover, which begins at sundown on the fifteenth day of Nisan, the first month of the Jewish calendar. In the modern calendar, that is, between April and May. The story of Passover is written in the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Hebrew Bible. Over 3000 years ago, Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, enslaved the Jews and tortured… half the paper… and tradition. Hopefully, younger generations will continue to celebrate the sacred celebration to maintain their legacy in the future. In addition to the historical meaning behind this tradition, the Seder plate in the celebration of Passover not only teaches the younger generation to remember past painful experiences of slavery, but also highlights the positive aspects of their successful journey and joyful moments. Each of the symbolic foods on the Passover Seder plate has an interesting meaning, and together they created the complex and layered meaning of the tradition. Family and friends gather to reflect on history, sympathize with tragedies, and celebrate the triumphs of their ancestors. It is remarkable that all Jews around the world strongly symbolize the experiences of their ancestors and disseminate them as the foundation of national identity.
