Welcome to another episode of The Jews Next Dor! In preparation for Pesach, we are talking to Yair Daar who has been a Jewish educator and administrator for the past 15 years and is currently working at Yeshivat He’Atid in New Jersey. He is also involved in the organization of Moshava Ba'ir summer camps and various workshops.

Yair emphasizes the importance of creating a positive feeling around the Seder and presenting the story in a way that everybody can understand. He doesn’t have any specific rules but insists on good storytelling and supporting activities.

It’s very important to release the pressure and have fun while spreading the message of the Seder at the same time.
