Jews everywhere celebrate Pesach by having seder, a festive meal to reenact the story of the Exodus from Egypt. We sit leaning to our side, to remind us that free people have the leisure to sit comfortably, and we eat special foods that remind us of our slavery and freedom. Apart from the special seder songs we sing, we read the story of the Exodus from the Haggadah.
