Passover this year is going to be a little different from what we’re used to. How do you hold a Seder during a pandemic? We have resources and plenty of events including our own virtual Seder to guide you.
RESOURCES FOR YOUR FIRST NIGHT SEDER
Need help organizing a Seder? Looking for a checklist of what you need? For our JCOGS virtual second night Seder, we will be using this simple The Wandering is Over Haggadah. In its first pages, it has detailed introduction on getting ready for a Seder. Feel free to use it for your first night as well.
You might have a tough time getting to the store, so this year we’re running a Curbside Pesach table at the JCOGS building Monday, April 6, 3-6pm. Come by the front of JCOGS and get your supplies. Don’t be shy, but please take only what you need. No need to pay, but you can make a donation to JCOGS. We have Kosher for Passover wine, matzah, matzah meal, and yahrzeit candles.
In addition, Chef Nadav, who was meant to cater our JCOGS second night Seder, is offering Passover food via curbside delivery. Contact him directly for details at chefnadav@me.com or 802.586.0098 for more information.

Grab a wooden spoon, a candle, and a feather, and let’s go clear out those bits of chametz that have escaped our spring cleaning. Wait, you don’t have a feather at home? Here are instructions to make one out of paper or a scrap of cloth. 4:30pm Let’s review the Mah Nishtanah. Why is this night different from all other nights? Join Beth for a practice run of the Four Questions. Join via zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/377107882 .....................................................

All are welcome to this multi-generational virtual Seder lead by Rabbi David with song and meaningful and fun ritual and discussion. You can even invite your family from across the world!
Participants will prepare their own seder plates and ritual foods, so begin the cooking.
We will be using The Wandering is Over Haggadah. In its first pages, it has detailed instructions on getting ready for a Seder. Print out the Haggadah or have a second device with its words ready for use during the Seder.
There will also be plenty of family engagement with curious challenges, stories, games, and even crafts throughout the seder to keep you and your kiddos involved and inspired.
Please consider donating what you would have paid to attend our annual Second Night Seder. JCOGS, like many nonprofits, will feel the impact of this economic shutdown, and we are grateful for any donation you are able to make. Donate here.
Satruday, April 18 7:15-8:15 PM Rugelach with Rita Before Havdalah, join rugelach expert Rita Schneps in assembling your post-Pesach treat. We all need something to look forward to right now, and if we cannot have an in-person Seder together and cannot break Pesach together, we're sure going to bake rugelach together. Invite your relatives to log on, as well. Ingredient list here. Join via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/866613116 ....................................................
