Topic of Choosing 2 - Reflection on Passover Meal

I found the class on the holiday of Passover and the meal representing it to be quite interesting. I really don’t have much background on Jewish holidays or practices, so it was good to learn something new and broaden my horizons. I found a parallel between Jewish and Christian culture in the sense of the food having a unique representation of the different aspects of their belief systems. The background that was given on the feast and its meaning seemed very relevant to their faith, and also very sacred in the sense of being a religious ritual. To someone not included in the religion, this is merely another meal, but to the Jewish community this is a celebration of religion and triumph over hardships and a way to express gratitude.
