In working with youth of all ages I find that using the opportunity of Holy Week and using the Seder is a "hands on" approach to helping them understand that we start with a rich Jewish heritage and that Jesus brought us through this heritage, tradition and understanding to a new understanding. The Seder helps explain from whence we come and Maundy Thursday helps them understand where we are going. These events/services when done well allow for opportunity to teach, ask questions, say hmmm, and even say ah-ha?!
we invite them to our Seder meal. They don't get the whole story all the time but it is amazing over the years what they pick up
