This extraordinary, exquisitely handcrafted SEDER PLATE represents
the breathtaking escape from Pharaoh’s Egypt. The waves of the Red
Sea, which are said to have parted for the Israelites so they could flee
Egypt and cross over to their first destination, the Sinai Desert, are represented
here with the flowing words “I will sing
to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously. He parted the Red Sea and allowed
us to cross it as if on dry land and then, just as the Egyptians reached the shores,
closed it again and stymied their chase!” (Book of Exodus 15.18 Be-Shallah)
The small, royal blue dishes are for the special symbols that ensure that the
Jewish people will always remember what the Israelites accomplished against all
odds. The wheat engravings represent the unleavened bread and the fruitful possibilities
that would develop as the Jewish people from Egypt found their land, joined their
brothers and sisters and, eventually founded the State of Israel.
