Dear John,

In just a few days, the Jewish community will celebrate Passover — perhaps a little differently than in years past. 

Passover invites us to imagine ourselves as though we experienced the Exodus from Egypt as we retell the Passover story — the Jewish people’s original refugee story. As we weather the storm of the current global health pandemic, we have the opportunity to think of those who are made that much more vulnerable in this moment: the world’s 70 million displaced people. 

Download the HIAS Haggadah to include a deeper exploration of the global refugee crisis in your Seder this year.

The HIAS Haggadah includes many short readings to help us turn our attention to those who still wander in search of freedom and safety today — perfect for a virtual Seder. 

Wishing you a healthy, meaningful Passover,
