Of course! Passover is fun. And it’s meant as a time to reflect on freedom and stand in solidarity with anyone who is unfree. Non-Jews are typically welcome at Seders as well.
(Some Orthodox Jews who hold traditional readings of Exodus could theoretically take issue with Gentiles observing Passover — Exodus 12 says that uncircumcised males are barred from participating in the sacrifice of the Passover lamb. But that sacrifice isn’t part of the holiday for Jews anymore, and the restrictionist attitude is far from common among US Jews.)
Seders are supposed to be accessible. That’s one reason they’re held at home rather than formally in a synagogue. The format invites the hosts to personalize the ritual a bit. Some families can get quite creative.
We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
