This Broken Matzah: Pesach 2024

How do we celebrate Pesach in a year like this one? Everything about the seder lands differently after the last six months. This offering emerges out of our grief and our hope. No two pieces are coming from exactly the same place. There are so many emotions — even within a single heart, much less around any given seder table. We hope these prayers, poems, and works of art will help you make this Pesach what you need it to be.

How to use this offering: Add these to your seder. Pray these in community or on your own. Add pages from the PDF to photocopied handouts, or add slides from the slide deck to your haggadah or to services. In short: we hope you’ll use these in whatever way will best enable these words and images to speak to and for your heart.

This offering features work by Trisha Arlin, R. Rachel Barenblat, Joanne Fink, R. Dara Lithwick, R. David Evan Markus, R. Sonja Keren Pilz, Steve Silbert, and R. David Zaslow.
