Passover

Passover is a holiday where we remember the story of the ancient Hebrews’ exodus from slavery in Egypt. Whether you’re looking for an inspirational Haggadah to incorporate into your family’s traditions or a delicious side dish to accompany your grandmother’s matzoh ball soup recipe from the old country, the JCC East Bay has curated a selection of local and (some) national gems not to be missed so that your Passover is as celebratory as possible.
