Its about reliving the xperience our ancestors went through when they were exiled out of Egypt. To summarize how we were exiled from Egypt, you start with Joseph. In the torah (your old testament), he was sold to tradesman by most of his brothers. He was later falsly accused of raping the pharoah's wife (who actually wanted to get laid, but when she was refused she lied to her husband) and thrown into jail.
In jail he interpreted the dreams of a butler and a chef of the pharoah. He correctly told the butler that he would return to his position and that the chef would be sentenced to death. To return the favor, the butler told the pharoah of Joseph when he couldn't understand his dreams.
Joaseph told the pharoah that there would be 7 years of bountiful crops and 7 of drought. He was then appointed as gatherer/distributer of rations and made his way up through the ranks. Eventually he brought up his family to live in Egypt and many other Israelites followed.
