Passover begins early this year; the first seder is March 25th! We have all of the resources you need to make it through–before, during, and after!
Before the Seder
Prepare your students. Hebrew Wizards Passover Board with everything you students need to know about the holiday. And a Mah Nishtanah Board to practice the Four Questions as a class. Try out the Hebrew Wizards Passover app too.
Order your haggadahs. Our newest haggadah, Simply Seder, has been popular for families, congregations, and schools. Teachers are using it as a tool to teach the blessings and prayers, to host mock seders, and to re-tell the story of Passover. Educator Kim Beame got a copy for every 3rd-6th grade student in her school. "I think Simply Seder is wonderful," said teacher Carol Stav. "It is simple to use and the students are able to lead with ease." Check out this title and more here. We have quantity discounts.
