V’hi She-Amdah: Talking About Antisemitism in the Haggadah and Today

“…In each generation they have tried to destroy us…” It’s no secret that our recent Passovers have been celebrated slightly on edge, with a renewed awareness of the anti-Jewish sentiment in the world. Let’s explore together the seder’s nuanced discussion of how Jews perceive ourselves and our enemies, through the Haggadah’s lens of Bible and Midrash. And we’ll examine the meaning of Passover’s promises at a time of growing hostility and anxiety. We promise lots of texts and juicy conversation starters for your seder this year!

Join us for ONE or BOTH of our online Pesach preparation classes this year (March 30 and April 2). There is just ONE sign up… even if you can only join us for one session. Register here today to receive the Zoom link:
