The Seder night is organized in fifteen steps which create the order (literally, seder) of the evening, guiding us through the progression of the rituals. The Siman Tov Seder, created by David Moss, is a set of fifteen little booklets designed to enhance and elevate your Passover Seder through an exercise in values exploration. Each booklet is devoted to one of the fifteen steps of the seder, focusing on an important topic, value, or idea related to that step of the Seder, as an important element to acknowledge on the path to freedom and redemption.
The activity can be used as a wonderful way to prepare for Passover, or, alternatively, as an activity at the actual Seder. It is meant to be explored with a hevruta, a study partner. Each pair receives one or more booklet. Together, they use the prompt questions, the poetry, and the art to stimulate a lively discussion. What the pair has discovered can then be shared with everyone at the Seder.
