The holiday that is observed by more American Jews than any other is Passover-the celebration that commemorates the liberation of the Jews from slavery in Egypt. On the first night of Passover, Jews hold a Seder which is a Hebrew word meaning "structured or in order". Families gather at the Seder meal and retell the story of Passover. Join Burt Wolf for a seder at Famous Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse, take a tour of the Hassidic community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, watch a master scribe at work, and learn how matzah is made.
