Tawonga Family Passover Seder

This outdoor Passover experience is not like a regular seder – it’s more Purim meets Pesach, with games, singing, dancing, and an interactive Exodus story like you’ve never experienced it before. This event is geared towards families with children ages 4-10. Bring a blanket, bring a potluck dish, and bring your appetite for Jewish ritual!

Saturday, April 19 | 3:30 – 5:30pm | Berkeley | Register
