Passover 2020

Passover is a time when we traditionally gather with our extended family and friends. This particular Passover, when we are physically separated due to the current pandemic, may be challenging for many.  

This page provides resources to help you to prepare for Passover at home and virtually with our Beth Or community. We hope you find creative ways to celebrate.

Chag Sameach!
