Many Traditions, One Exodus: Passover Around the World

Explore the tastes and traditions of Jews around the world and discover new ways to make your seder different from all other nights.

Passover is one shared story, told in many voices and traditions. Join Dr. Sarah Bunin Benor for a warm and engaging exploration of how Jewish communities around the world bring the seder to life. Through stories, music, food, and language, we’ll see how the Exodus has been experienced and passed down across cultures and generations. From Sephardic and Mizrahi traditions rooted in North Africa and the Middle East to Ashkenazi songs, foods, and storytelling from Eastern Europe, we’ll explore how history and culture shape the Passover table. Along the way, you’ll gather ideas and inspiration to make your own seder feel more meaningful and personal this year, whether you’re hosting, joining someone else’s table, or experiencing Passover for the first time.

This event will be LIVE on Zoom at 5:00pm PT. With the purchase of a ticket, attendees will receive a recording of the class afterward.

Dr. Sarah Bunin Benor is a leading scholar of Jewish languages and culture, Professor of Contemporary Jewish Studies at Hebrew Union College, and founder of the Jewish Language Project. Her work explores how Jewish communities express identity through language, tradition, and everyday life.
