This Saturday night, we will begin Passover - for many of
us, it will be our second Seder on Zoom, with its attendant blessings and curses. I want to share some resources here to help you prepare for Pesach, however you are celebrating it!
On Line Seder Opportunities
-
White House Seder with Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff. Good News - we’re all invited to the (on-line) White House Seder. Douglas Emhoff, husband of VP Kamala Harris, has invited all of us to his seder on Thursday afternoon.
Haggadahs and Supplements

Of course, we have a number of events starting soon after the Seders to be aware of:

With blessings for a joyous and liberating Pesach,
