Introduction
- The Passover seder is both a religious ceremony and a time to celebrate connections with friends and famiily. While the people are the most important thing, you can have a budget meal that consists of more than matzoh and water.
-
Step 1: Focus on the Basics
- Although families may each have their own special traditions, a seder plate normally contains certain symbolic foods. None of these are lavish or expensive, and can be incorporated in the seder without stressing a budget.
- Matzoh: Symbolizes the speed with which the Israelites fled Egypt, which meant there was no time for the dough to rise.
- Bitter herbs: Commonly horseradish, to symbolize the bitterness of slavery.
- Charoset: Apples, nuts, wine, and cinnamon, which represent the mortar used by Jews when they were slaves working on labor crews in Egypt.
- Roasted egg: To symbolize life.
- Karpas: Usually parsley or celery, representing hope which is served with a bowl of salted water to represent tears.
- Lamb shankbone: Symbolizing the sacrifice made during Passover.
- Four glasses of wine: Representing the promise of redemption.

Step 3: Make Trade-offs
- After making out your menu, take another look to see if you can replace items with less expensive choices.
- Instead of a flourless torte for dessert based on expensive nut meal, why not substitute meringue cups for dessert? Eggs are cheap this time of year, and you could fill the cups with fruit for an inexpensive, and healthy dessert.
- The Washington Post suggests a mock chestnut praline torte which uses canned sweet potatoes instead of more expensive chestnuts, and praline made from matzoh instead of nuts.
