The celebration of Passover
on the Jewish calendar occurs every spring. Passover is an eight day
festival.
During Passover Jews who observe this holiday do not eat bread, or other
items which have leavening (ingredients which rise). In addition to
bread this includes certain cakes and sweets, crackers, etc. Instead of
bread, a flat bread called matzah is eaten. Other baked goods are made
with special Passover flour. There are also some vegetables which are
not eaten during Passover, including corn, beans and peas. Rice is also
not served during the holiday.
Lieberman hosted a Seder for residents and their families on the
first and second night of Passover. In total, 126 guests were served
and $ 2180.00 was generated in revenue for the client. The menu
featured traditional Jewish foods such as Cornish Hen with orange sauce,
Brisket, root vegetables and homemade Kugel.
