This is the bread of affliction which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt; let all those who are hungry, enter and eat thereof; and all who are in distress, come and celebrate the Passover. At present we celebrate it here, but next year we hope to celebrate it in the land of Israel. This year we are servants here, but next year we hope to be freemen in the land of Israel.

{fill the cups with wine the second time. The youngest present then asks The Four Questions...}

Wherefore is this night distinguished from all other nights? Any other night we may eat either unleavened or leavened bread, but on this night only unleavened bread; all other nights we may eat any species of herbs, but this night only bitter herbs; all other nights we do not dip even once, but on this night twice; all other nights we eat and drink either sitting or reclined, but on this night we all of us recline.

LEADER: YHVH hath remembered us, He will bless us, He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who revere YHVH, the small as well as the great: May YHVH increase you, more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of YHVH, the Maker of heaven and earth. The heavens are the heavens of YHVH, but the earth hath He given to the children of men. The dead praise not YHVH, nor they who descend into the silent grave. But we will bless YHVH, from henceforth until evermore. HalleluYAH.

Have compassion, O YHVH, our God, upon us, on Israel Thy people, upon Jerusalem, Thy city, on Zion, the residence of Thy glory, and upon the altar and Thy Temple; rebuild Jerusalem, Thy holy city, speedily in our days. For all these things we thank You, in the Name of Your Son Yeshua the Messiah - and all would say Amen.

{ALL SAY...}
NEXT YEAR IN [NEW] JERUSALEM!

Singing Of Various Songs:
.
{Concerning this part of the service, it is written: AND WHEN THEY HAD SUNG A HYMN, THEY WENT OUT UNTO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. Matthew 26:30}
====================================================================
NOTES: The bread [matsah], may be blessed with the blessing of the Challah found in the Erev Shabbat Service, {on Bible net}. [Especially before Communion if you'd like].

The bitter-herbs are horse-radish. You will also need parsley, and Charoseth {which is an apple/honey/nut mixture ground up}, A bone of a lamb-leg represents the lamb that was offered. This last can be on the center of the table to be explained only, [not eaten of course]. During the Passover meal, simply serve a meal, [but please no ham, Oy! :-)

And hopefully that briefly should do it.

Sorry for the lack of information on specifics. And parts of this are 4,000 years old, and most of it over 2,000 years old.

Shalom shalom.
