Passover 101
Ep. 357: Everything you need to pull off a meaningful and memorable Seder
This week on Unorthodox, we’re revisiting our 2020 Passover episode, in which we served up everything you need to know to pull off a meaningful and memorable Seder. The episode was created to address the fact that many people were suddenly hosting a Passover Seder for the very first time, under challenging and confounding circumstances, but we think there’s still a lot to be gained from going back to the basics. We walk you through the steps of the Seder, with special guests, perfect-for-Passover music, 10 plagues cocktails, and more. Our guide is Tablet’s own Passover Haggadah: An Ancient Story for Modern Times.
