Members of the Beth Tikvah Congregation in Hoffman Estates gathered Friday night for a Passover seder to mark the start of that Jewish holiday.
The traditional seder combines a multi-stage meal with rituals and stories about the Jews' exodus from Egypt.
More than 100 people were expected to attend Friday's seder.
The holiday ends at sundown on April 30.
