Greetings!

Passover begins on Friday evening, April 6. Is your family ready to make the most of this experiential education opportunity?

 

Whether you're enlivening the seder by throwing styrofoam balls for the plague of hail, or discussing what "do not oppress the stranger" means for us today, we hope you'll find the creative ideas, artful books, and practical seder tips below helpful in enriching your family's Passover learning experience.   

 

Enjoy your celebration of liberation!
