Setting Your Seder Table
1
Cleaning and cooking are not the only important jobs to be
done on Passover. It is such a special holiday, your table should
look beautiful. Setting the table is a job you can do, which will
also be a big help to your parents.
When setting each place, you need to remember to place the
silverware in the order it will be used, from the outside in.
What You Need For Each Guest:
dinner plate
salad plate
dinner knife
teaspoon
soup spoon
dinner fork
salad fork
water glass
wine glass
napkin
place card

Put the dinner plate directly in front of each chair.
Place the salad plate on top of the dinner plate. This plate
will be used for food from the seder plate.
Place the dinner knife on the right side of the plate, with
the sharp edge facing the plate.
Place the teaspoon to the right of the knife.
Place the soup spoon to the right of the teaspoon.
Place the dinner fork on the left side of the plate.
Place the salad fork to the left of the dinner fork.
Put the water glass above the knife.
Put the wine glass to the right of the water glass.
Fold the napkin nicely and place it either to the left of the
forks or underneath them.
Put a place card above the plate.
Don’t Forget Our Refusenik Friends!
Here are two simple ways to help your family and friends at your
seder remember our refusenik friends in the Soviet Union.
First, read a Matza of Hope Prayer during your seder. You can
write your own or ask your teacher or Rabbi for a copy of one.
Second, set a place for a refusenik at your table, complete with
silverware and a place card. It will be a good reminder that there are
others who are not free to celebrate Passover as they wish.
If you need the name of a refusenik to “host” at your seder, call
your local Soviet Jewry organization or use the name of a NOAH’S
ARK Refusenik Pen Pal of the Month.

Rachel Zuckerman Wins
Passover Contest
Mazel tov to Rachel Zuck
erman, 8-years-old, from
Bronx, New York, who won
the Passover Contest.
To enter the contest, read
ers were asked to write their
own “Matza of Hope” prayer.
Here is Rachel’s prayer:
My Matza of Hope
I hope that God will let all
the Jews out of Arab and Rus
sian countries to celebrate the
Jewish holidays. If any Jews
are mistreated, please God, let
them be free. But all I hope is
that all Jews are free and treated
nicely. And that’s my Matza
of Hope.
