As we face another Passover where large in-person gatherings are not in the cards, Rabbi Lauren Henderson and Dr. Amy Robertson discuss what it means to us to create a meaningful home seder. We raise up the question "Why are we gathering?" -- and how does this answer shape the kind of seder you'll create? We talk about gap between our ancestors' experience and our own, and the need to dive into that breech with some intention. We talk about the great and overwhelming tool of the Haggadah - part seder script, part complex work of rabbinic scholarship - and when you might want to put it down. We know - and we name - how intimidating it can feel to do the seder "right" if you are not usually the leader, but we are with you as you create the seder that is right for this moment. Next year in Jerusalem!
