At my house we use a maxwell house haggadah set from the early 80s.

"Today, thousands of different #haggadahs exist, with #prayers, #rituals and readings tailored to every type of #Seder – from LGBTQ+-affirming to climate-conscious. But for decades, one of the most popular and influential haggadahs in the United States has been a simple version with an unlikely source: the Maxwell House #Haggadah, dreamed up in 1932 by the coffee corporation and a #Jewish advertising executive."

Seder!

One of our London members is organising a potluck seder on Tuesday. Short on notice but long on community!

If you haven’t been before to anything we’ve run, this would be a fun first event.

Bring a small vegan dish to share, and find fellowship and Matzo with queer and leftist Jews.

We do not have the ability to reheat food (there is a tea kettle however). Please note that we will use grape juice only at this event.

Late arrival is ok. We ask that everyone follow our code of conduct.

If you have not been before, please book.

(All of our events are listed in our Calendar, which you can sync to your phone or device.)

Passover Seder, 1949, by Moshe Castel (1909-1991), oil on canvas, 25 × 36 in. (63.5 × 91.5 cm.), photo: Christie’s New York, 20 Apr 2006. #arthistory #passover #seder

From the lot essay: “Painted in 1949, Passover Seder describes a subject close to Castel's heart throughout his career, traditional Jewish life and customs.” More in ALT.

This year, #Seder meal but no Seder. Light candles, maybe say kiddush. Chicken soup with kneidlach, turkey, charoset, matzah. 🫓

This year we are slaves; next year may we be free — free from tyranny, from oppression, from fear, from hatred.

חג #פסח שמח לכולם!

This #Passover, some of us will remember enslaved #Uyghurs by placing #cotton balls on our #seder plates. Learn more at

"We were slaves in Egypt
We will not turn away from those who are slaves today
We were redeemed from slavery
We will do our part to help the Uyghurs live in freedom
(Jewish World Watch Uyghur Freedom Seder)"

Tonight is ליל הסדר — Seder night.

A night of story, memory, freedom.

This video is from my last Seder in Israel — a table full of love, tradition, and meaning. I hold it close.

This year, I’m not at a public Seder. I’m sitting with memory. With family in my heart.

If you’re doing the same — I see you.

You don’t need a crowd to feel the magic. Just a heart open to the story.

May tonight bring freedom, peace, connection, and hope.

And may we remember the 59 hostages still in Gaza. May they come home soon.

חג פסח שמח 💙
