Q:
A: What about it? Your question's a little too vague to answer properly. If you're talking about the Passover sacrificial meal, eaten by the Israelites in Temple times, it was very important. It was a yearly offering made on behalf of each family, and afterwards the meat was eaten as a part of the celebration of the holiday. Now that the Temple is no longer standing, Jews no longer offer sacrifices, and we don't eat the traditional sacrificial meal - so while as far as Judaism itself goes, it's still extremely meaningful and important as a concept, as far as day to day reality goes, it no longer plays a significant role. Some Christians (as you can see from one of your answers) can't quite understand this, seeing Jesus as the sacrifice, despite the fact that Judaism never allowed human sacrifice to substitute for animals, and go through a version of the Passover service celebrating this - it's a mockery of what Jews believe and what the Israelites did, but for some Christian groups the sacrifice is still considered as ongoing and relevant. But it is in no way the same as the Passover meal the Israelites enjoyed, or the seder that Jews hold today. If you are referring to the seder, or Passover meal that is held every year by all Jews of all denominations, it is considered extremely important. It is more than a meal; it's actually a religious ceremony with a meal in the middle. The purpose is to commemorate our release from slavery in Egypt. In addition to whatever dinner is served, the seder involves symbolic foods eaten at certain times, Talmud study, singing, and prayer. Even the least religious Jews tend to have some sort of seder - if Jews only practice Judaism a couple of times a year, the Passover meal is almost always one of those times - even more than Chanukah (the other is generally Rosh Hashanah / Yom Kippur). Hope that helps you - I'm not clear on what you're asking, so I tried to give both possible explanations.
