Passover celebrates the freedom to ask questions.

Why is this night different from all other nights?

• What are the four questions?
• Why do we set the table in a special way?
• What is a seder?
• Why do we eat matzo?

Asking questions is central to Passover and to the learning process.

What is matzo? Mrs. May made matzo with her classes. It tasted good with salt and butter.

Mrs. Drook’s and Mrs. Silverman’s classes held seders together.
