Two comments from my recent Sunday school class:

For the Passover the host was to wash the guests hands. (Jesus humbled himself even further by washing the feet!)

During the beginning of the Passover feast the middle matza is broken in half, wrapped in a cloth and hidden. Then the children go to look for it and bring it back and hold out for a ransom from the adults (treats). The speaker said this has no symbolism for the Jewish feast, but as a believer in Christ it is obvious: Christ’s body was wrapped in a shroud, buried, rose again as a ransom for us.

The gal sitting next to me is married to a Jew (and raised their children Jewish), and I asked her if that was correct. It seemed unbelievable to me that it had NO symbolism for the Jews (broken in captivity in Egypt, etc. which I mentioned to her). She said no - it was just a fun thing they did with the kids!
