Passover Model Seders | Jewish Historical Society

This year Passover begins Wednesday, April 5 at sundown. For the past few years, many families and friends could not get together to celebrate the holiday. This year, we hope all our readers can gather at seders to celebrate our freedom and to tell the story of our exodus from slavery in Egypt. Below are photos of past model seders held in our communities.
