Passover Gift Ideas

Passover is a major Jewish Holiday and one of the most widely celebrated Jewish holidays. It celebrates the emancipation of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. The name refers to the belief that God set 10 plagues upon Egypt, culminating in one that killed the firstborn child of every family. However, the plague "passed over" Israelite houses, leaving them untouched. When the Pharaoh found his own child dead, he chased the Israelites out of the country and freed them from slavery in the process.

What Happens at a Traditional Passover Seder?

It is traditional for Jewish families to gather on the first night of Passover for a special dinner called a seder. The main dish that is used on Passover is called a seder plate. The Passover Seder plate is a special plate containing symbolic foods eaten or displayed at the Passover Seder. Each of the six items arranged on the plate has special significance to the retelling of the story of Passover.

Passover Gift Ideas

For those who are lucky enough to be spending Passover with family or friends, it’s always nice to bring a special host/hostess gift. If you’re not sure what to bring, here are some ideas to point you in the right direction:

WINE REST

On top of being a good gift for any occasion, wine is a traditional part of the seder meal. Bring your host a bottle of kosher-for-Passover wine and pair it with a beautiful Michael Aram wine rest. Seders call for each adult to drink four cups of kosher wine throughout the meal. By displaying the bottle of wine in a Michael Aram wine rest will not only give it a classy touch but it will be something that your host can use all year long. Shop for wine rests by Michael Aram in Boca Raton at Devon's Diamonds & Decor.

KIDDUSH CUP

Shabbat and Jewish holiday meals begin with a blessing over a cup of wine. Many families have a special glass or goblet specifically for the purpose, often an heirloom that has been passed down through the generations, but any cup can
function as a kiddush. With this cup, the Passover seder begins.

MATZAH COVER AND/OR MATZAH PLATE

Every year at Passover, a highlight of the season is the traditional unleavened bread, or matzah, that is usually served at meals. Flat and crisp, it symbolizes the dough that Israelite women had to grab before it had time to rise, as they and their families escaped in the night from Egypt.

At the traditional Seder dinner that marks the start of Passover, matzah plays a special role and the two main things used with the matzah are matzah covers and matzah plates.

MATZAH COVER

In order to keep the matzah fresh and protected, many families will have a special cover. You can’t use the regular Challah cover – that’s Chametz (foods with leavening agents that are forbidden on the Jewish holiday of Passover). Matzah covers provide a decorative touch and buying a beautiful new Matzah cover for your host is a great idea! Shop for matzah covers in Boca Raton at Devon's Diamonds & Decor.

matzah plate for your host/hostess. Shop matzah plates in Boca Raton at Devon's Diamonds & Decor.
