How to commemorate Passover online

Jewish residents in South Florida are adhering to Passover traditions with virtual Seders. 

Passover is April 8-16, with festivities that include a Seder dinner focusing on special foods, readings and songs.

During this safer-at-home moment, Jewish organizations in South Florida and around the world are offering virtual Seders online, ideas for hosting your own virtual Seder with friends and families, and links for other online information and resources, including downloadable Haggadahs.
