The Festival of Passover will be celebrated this week in Jewish homes the world over. Can Jewish children still find meaning in events which happened in Egypt over 3,000 years ago? How much do human beings need such rites and ceremonies?

The first night of the Passover is for the Jews a great family reunion. It is known as the Seder ceremony, and all the foods they eat have a symbolic meaning-the unleavened bread, the eggs, the bitter herbs, the four cups of wine. Christians also have their symbols, and some scholars believe it was the Seder ceremony which Jesus celebrated with his disciples in the upper room. To the outsider, such rituals may look outdated, even theatrical. On the other hand, failure to find communal expression for his deepest feelings may be a basic cause of modern man's neurosis.
