Olives on the Seder Plate

The olives represent an olive branch- a symbol of peace between people. May there be peace between all peoples on Earth and may we do our part to take steps towards peace. This includes Jewish values of accepting and loving the stranger, making new people feel comfortable, learning about other traditions and cultures with an open mind, calling out racism, sexism, and xenophobia, and making sure everyone feels included. 

Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
