How do I hold a sprig of parsley — fresh as the first days of spring — and dip it into salt water, the taste of tears? How do I sing familiar songs with joy while also carrying fear, grief, or anger about the world around me? And how do I leave the Passover seder not only remembering liberation, but claiming joy and resilience for the days ahead?
 
As we prepare for Passover 2026, join us for a meaningful exploration of how to balance joy and challenge at your seder table with Rabbi Isabel de Koninck. Together, we’ll reflect on beloved Passover traditions, deepen familiar rituals, and begin to name the questions you yourself are bringing to the holiday.
 
To spark thoughtful and heartfelt conversation, the Ritualwell team has created a new collection of curated Passover resources, including four new questions to complement the traditional Four Questions. This printable PDF will be delivered electronically and accessible online, ready to bring to your table when you register.
 
Come prepare your table — and your heart — for a Passover that holds it all.
 
This session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
