The Egg on the Seder Plate

Why is there an egg on the Seder plate, and what does the egg mean today? Just as the egg can symbolize both mourning and renewal, the eggs we choose to put on our table today can reflect either care for living creatures or one of the plagues of our time: factory farming. Jewish Initiative for Animals collaborated with Hazon to bring you this haggadah supplement which provides both Jewish learning and practical tips for making sure your plate promotes Jewish values of compassion—on Passover, and year-round!

Learning to Say "We": Writing Identity

In this immersion, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about, challenge, discover, explore, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are.

Four sessions, starting June 15th
