A pre-recorded virtual Passover Seder created by the Rabbinical Association is being offered this year to assist families as they host their own home Seder.
The Passover Seder is an opportunity for family and friends to come together for the telling of the Passover story — to reflect on our past and look forward to a future of freedom and liberation for all people throughout the world.
Through engaging stories, song and discussion, the virtual Seder will serve as a guide to the Seder and will feature Kansas City clergy and musicians who retell the story of the Exodus, Crossing the Sea, the story of our people’s journey from slavery to freedom while remembering those around the world who struggle with injustice every day. The Seder will be available virtually to use at the best time for you, your family and friends.
To access the virtual Seder, which will be made available closer to the date of Passover 5781/2021, visit kcrabbi.org and click on this link vimeo.com/519756417/731e1c6b6d.
