The Hitchhiker's Guide to Passover
Passover begins the evening of Wednesday, April 8! Truly and deeply this year, this night is different from all other nights.
For many, Passover is filled with beautiful traditions. For many, it is filled with rules and rituals that can feel confusing and stressful. For many, it's both! As we draw near to this holiday and its themes – finding order, redemption, and liberation in chaotic times – here are some resources to help you get started. Connect to Kol Tzedek Online

Kol Tzedek, a Voice for Justice, is a young and growing Reconstructionist social justice-focused synagogue in West Philadelphia, founded in 2004. We currently have 230 member households. We are artists, organizers, academics, parents, professionals, students, social workers, midwives, and misfits. We are a mixed multitude; people of varied ages, abilities, and genders committed to racial and economic justice. We are people who ask a lot of questions. We are neighbors and friends who cook, sing, and care for one another. And we have decided to bind our lives together in sacred community.
