Passover with Adelaide!
Today Adelaide talked to the Manatees about the upcoming Passover holiday. Passover is an eight day Jewish holiday celebrating freedom. There are many traditions celebrated during Passover that represent resiliency and storytelling.
Adelaide first read “Welcoming Elijah: A Passover Tale with a Tail” by Lesléa Newman. In this story, a family gathers to read from a book called the Haggadah, which serves as a guide to the Seder. The Seder is a ritual meal celebrated at the beginning of Passover that retells a story through food.
Adelaide showed the Manatees a Seder plate, and she brought parley—which symbolizes Spring— for everyone to try with salt water—which symbolizes tears.
Some Manatees enjoyed the parsley with salt water so much, that they requested some during snack and lunch.
Thank you, Adelaide, for sharing a part of your culture with the Manatees!
