Many of us will be celebrating Passover virtually again this year.
We are fortunate that people and organizations across the Jewish community are developing and sharing new ways of bringing people together to new celebrate the holiday—both virtually and in spirit.
Below, you will find a curated list of Passover resources from our partners, network members and beyond to help you navigate the holiday. You will find virtual seder opportunities, haggadot and supplements relevant to this pandemic and other timely issues, and useful how-to guides for both experienced and first-time seder hosts.
