Passover

Passover is the ultimate liberation celebration that reminds us that even in the face of tyranny, it is possible to move from degradation to freedom. We gather together at the Passover Seder to tell the Exodus story that has inspired oppressed people across the world for countless generations and remember that none of us are free until we all are free.

At Temple Israel of Boston, we come together as a community to mark the Seder together, infusing ancient symbols and traditions with contemporary ones as we reflect on the meaning of liberation in our world today. Don’t miss the annual matzah brei taste-test competition where each member of our clergy will present their unique recipe for this classic Passover treat!
