Seder is a Jewish ceremonial dinner held on the first night (and, for some communities, the second night) of Passover. As a noun, it designates both the ritual itself and the formal order of prayers, readings, and symbolic foods. The term also refers to the liturgical service that accompanies the meal, including the telling of the Exodus story. Pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable, it is a two-syllable word common in religious and cultural contexts.
