OneTable and Haggadot.com are partnering this year for Passover to enable Jewish young adults to create, host and participate in meaningful in-person seders with peers.
“The traditional message of Passover is about freedom,” says Tirtzah Bassel, OneTable’s vice president of Partnerships + Jewish Learning. “And the most basic element of freedom is being able to tell our own story. After two years of COVID lockdowns and closures, this Passover is a particularly apt time to gather with friends and family to share stories about what freedom means to us now.”
In addition to a Passover Shabbat Guide, a Shabbat Seder Guide and a host of curated Passover resources, OneTable is also partnering with Haggadot.com.
Haggadot.com serves more than half a million Jews annually with a diverse library of Passover resources, including assistance for people to build a Passover experience around themes most relevant to them. They can create their own Haggadah and collaborate with friends and family.
Now with a new events platform, Powered by OneTable, Haggadot.com users can also discover Passover events that speak to them and invite guests directly to their own seders.
“People of different backgrounds and with different perspectives can all draw meaning from the interactive rituals of Passover,” adds Eileen Levinson, founder and executive director of Haggadot.com. “Whether informed by events in our world today or by something in one’s life, this DIY dinner party can be deeply powerful. Young adults are searching for experiences that add value and enrich their lives—that give them space to ask some big questions and ponder possible answers.”
