Seder

Seder is a Hebrew word meaning "order", and can have any of the following meanings:
  • Seder - readings of the Torah according to the ancient Palestinian triennial cycle. The divisions are called sedarim.
  • One of the six orders (major sections) of the Mishnah
  • An order of prayers that constitutes a liturgy. See the article on siddur. (Example, The Seder of Rav Amram)
  • A related order of prayers within a given liturgy, for example: the sounding of the shofar.
  • There is a holiday seder for the minor Jewish holiday of Tu B'shevat, the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat. It is known as Hemdat ha-Yamim and is modeled on the Passover seder.
