I have reviewed many Haggadot and I could not find Connect to Zoom in any of them.

This Passover for many will be different. The screen will be at many of our tables replacing grandparents and grandchildren, aunts and uncles, cousins, children and friends. We will still connect and we will still celebrate. We, perhaps using a different medium, will tell the store of the Exodus from Egypt and we will sing songs.

I have been amazed at the number of people who have joined in the online programming the FJMC has offered over the last three weeks and will continue to offer almost daily. I see the energy of the programs as we follow our mission of involving Jewish men in Jewish life along with many others.

Connection in person or on Zoom is still an important opportunity, so too are our Seders.

This year on Zoom so next year we may all be together again.

I wish you a meaningful Passover

Scroll down for Passover Resources from the USCJ.

The USCJ United Synagouge Website has posted an excellent collection of links on this webpage of Passover Resources. 

The resources are gathered from throughout the Conservative Movement and link back to the Rabbinical Assembly, JTS, and FJMC's How to Run a Virtual Seder webinar, etc. saving you the time of searching around.

Crucial for many of you may be this link, to Feast of Freedom: Passover Haggadah as a downloadable PDF published by the Rabbinical Assembly.

We were asked to pass along that the WZO is again streaming some wonderful learning sessions. They have fascinating topics, this week:

Sunday, April 5 - The Humans of Tel Aviv Experience - photography workshop.
