Passover in a Pandemic

Rabbi Dove Drizin preparing for a scaled-down Passover seder at his home in New Jersey

Rabbi Dove Drizin usually hosts a massive Passover seder at the Valley Chabad in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. This year, however, the gathering has been called off and the seder will happen at home with his wife and eight kids. This comes amidst a flurry of funerals and a question of just what Passover represents.

"There's crying and sadness and tears for so much loss," he said, "but then there’s also resilience. And a sense of, 'We’re all in it together.'"
