Passover Resources 

Our friends at Gateways in Boston have put together wonderful resources to help make Passover accessible to children and adults with special needs. 

Click here to purchase the Gateways Haggadah (order now to have it in time for your Seder!). 

There are also downloadable links to Passover placemats, the Passover story in simple language, visual supports for the Seder and Passover blessings and songs and lots of great activities to make your holiday inclusive. 

There's still time to RSVP for Vista Del Mar's Jewish Life Program's Pre-Passover Seder on April 17!
