II. THE PASSOVER TABLES
The room set-up which we have found to be the most practical,
and which gives people the best view, is shown below.
INDIVIDUAL GUEST TABLES:
• WHITE TABLE COVERING—
(paper or cloth)
• WHITE CANDLES—two tall
tapered white candles—dripless
is recommended—with
holders AND matches, placed
in the center of the table.
• SIMPLE DECORATIONS—The
place settings usually do not
allow room for large table
decorations, so they should
be kept simple, i.e. a streamer
down the center of the table.
A blue and white color scheme
is suggested since they are the
colors of the Israeli flag.
• MATZO TASH
(see page 9)
• SALT AND PEPPER
• 4 CUPS—four 6-8 oz. clear
plastic cups to hold the
elements (details on page 8)
• ONE SEDER PLATE (dinnersized
plate) with elements
(see picture on page 16)
Each place setting must have:
• NAPKIN—one napkin
• WATER—one 6-8 oz.
cup of water
• GRAPE JUICE—
one 6-8 oz. cup of
grape juice filled halfway
• SILVERWARE—2 forks,
1 spoon, 1 knife, 1 soup spoon
• PLATE—one luncheon-sized
plate (approximately 6 inch)
• DINNER PLATE
• SOUP/SALAD BOWL—one
soup bowl (best left in the
