Freedom Seder Revisited

As many Jews prepare for Passover, the most widely celebrated Jewish holiday, the Weitzman invites people of all backgrounds to join them for this long-running and beloved annual event. Experience an artfully curated lineup of speakers, storytellers, and musicians as they reflect on traditional Passover themes such as freedom, renewal, transmitting traditions, and welcoming the stranger.

This year’s event features stories from members of Mural Arts Philadelphia’s Restorative Justice Program; remarks and poetry from spoken-word artist Vanessa Hidary, aka “The Hebrew Mamita;”  and music from the most exciting band in Philadelphia, Snacktime, who—fresh off of their first U.S. tour—will lead us in song together throughout the evening. Dinner will be served halfway through the show, when performances will stop for all to converse with their neighbors and enjoy the delicious kosher food provided by CookNSolo.

Details and event line-up coming soon!

This annual event is inspired by the historic 1969 Freedom Seder, where hundreds of people of all backgrounds gathered to explore and celebrate freedom in the context of the civil rights movement. This communal event invites you to our table for an evening commemoration, stories, performances, and community exploration of freedom in America today.

This year’s event is produced by the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in Partnership with First Person Arts and Mural Arts Philadelphia.
