Pesah 2023/5783
Everything you need to prep for your own liberating Passover seder experience.
Passover is all about going forth from the narrow places that limit us, freeing our bodies, minds, and spirits, and doing it in community. Whether this is your first year hosting a seder or you’ve done it countless times, we hope you’ll find some digital inspiration and guidance for a transformative and meaningful seder experience.
They say once you’ve done something three times it’s a tradition, so join us for our annual virtual second-night seder, From Me to We: Virtual Passover Seder, where we’ll weave the ancient Passover retelling with all the ways we show up in Jewish community today – as artists, activists, Jews of different backgrounds, identities, ethnicities and stories. Led by our rabbis and members of the community, we’ll hit all the traditional Passover seder high notes and songs, have optional break out dinners, all followed by a post-dinner seder sing along. Together we will move from a place of me to a place of we.

How to Host a Kid-Friendly Seder Workshop
It’s not just our children who want a kid-friendly seder! Our Jewish ancestors designed the seder to keep kids having fun with games, songs, and other delights along the way. Join us for a hands-on workshop where we’ll explore various Passover traditions and share opportunities for infusing kid-friendly elements into your seder. Watch!
