The Passover Seder

Due to social distancing we may not be able to have traditional seders this year. Our seders may take on a whole new persona! According to the Jerusalem Post “In a remarkable ruling, senior Orthodox rabbis have given permission for people to use the Zoom video conferencing service at the Passover 2020 Seder to allow families separated by the coronavirus pandemic to connect with one another on what is one of the high points of the Jewish calendar.”

“Rabbi Eliyahu Abergel, a highly respected arbiter of Jewish law who served as the head of the Jerusalem Rabbinical Court for a decade, together with several other municipal chief rabbis, wrote in response to requests to use Zoom at the Passover Seder that it would be possible under certain restrictions due to the “time of emergency” currently being experienced.”
“The rabbis wrote that families that want to connect with each other at this upcoming Seder night could use Zoom if they turn on their electronic devices and the Zoom application before the holiday begins.”
What a creative way for us all to be able to experience Passover 2020 with our friends and families.
