Welcome to the Exploring Judaism Four Questions Hotline, with Passover Cleaning Support!

We are here to answer your questions.

Passover is a powerful story of redemption and liberation. One of the core ways we orient ourselves to those themes is with an organized story, the Passover Seder.

This year (2024/5784), we are excited to publish a Passover Reader to help you prepare for the holiday and enhance your seder experience.

This year, we encourage an extra setting at your table — an empty chair for our family still in captivity in Gaza.

This ritual is yours to shape: you may choose to leave the chair empty or put a sign or a list of the captives in the seat or on the plate. The poignancy will remain - it is empty as we engage in joy. Learn more by reading the guide linked below.

As we sit down for the Passover seder this year, we are heartbroken that hostages remain captive in Gaza. Every year we begin the seder by welcoming those who are in need into our homes. This year, as we recite Ha Lahma Anya, we also remember the hostages and invite their names and stories to be shared. View this prayer for hostages in Gaza by clicking below.
