A Passover Thought

I had a great conversation today with a colleague as he ate sardines and matzoh for lunch.

He made the point that a full Passover seder (the traditional one, hosted on the first or second night of the holiday) really got at the essence of the flight from Egypt: take whatever one had -- no time to allow the bread to rise -- and subsist on what was available.....

"Experiential learning in a nutshell," I said.

He agreed.

What other events, religious observances,  items of culture embody significant experience?
