A Day of Remembrance —  
    A Festival and Eternal Decree                        

1. The Passover Seder is the retelling of the redemption and deliverance from Egypt's sin and bondage. The term Passover Hag-gadah (Haggadah shel Pesach) in its literal sense means the narration of the Exodus story as recited at the Seder Service. The Seder (Aramaic for the Hebrew Erekh, meaning "order" of service) is the festival meal and home service on the first and second night of Passover. In its wider sense the term Passover Hag-gadah refers to the manual for the Seder; this manual is comprised of selections from the Holy Scriptures, their expositions in talmudic and midrashic literature, prayers and benedictions, legends and hymns, and a guide for the ritual of the ceremony.

2. This is a perpetual ordinance. The Hebrew word is עוֹלָם - olam - means eternal, without end.
