Do you like stories and eating? Open to dipping foods in other foods, and large, square crackers? Then you are Jewish enough to celebrate Passover. This program will provide an overview of Passover customs from a cultural, Secular Humanistic Jewish perspective. We will discuss how to prepare for, host or participate in a Passover seder – and how Humanistic Jews approach celebrating Passover from a non-theistic perspective. We will explore rituals and readings that connect us to Jewish histories, cultures, and people – and to the powerful Exodus narrative that has inspired human liberation movements throughout history and today.
