Trans+ Passover Seder

St. Lydia's

304 Bond St, Brooklyn, NY 11231, USA

Why is this night different from all other nights? The Trans+ Passover Seder is a ritual space created by and for the Transgender, Non-Binary, and Genderqueer Jewish community. This Seder features music, group learning, hands-on activities, and a delicious holiday meal in a safe and inclusive community setting. Together we will celebrate Passover as a holiday of collective liberation.

Now in its second year, Trans+ Seder is presented by The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life in partnership with Keshet.
