The preparation of the seder meal itself is probably no big deal, photographically speaking, because aside from the few specific foods that must be on the table (matza, bitter herbs and a few others) it is a normal festive meal like Thanksgiving. For Luis (and others who may be interested), seder is the traditional meal eaten on the eve of Passover, a holiday commemorating the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. A good overview of the holiday and its rituals is here: http://www.jewfaq.org/holidaya.htm#Seder This year, Passover begins at sunset on 12th April, i.e. on Wednesday.
