I've always been the only Jewish person at the table, other than my almost-3-year-old daughter and my mother, who joined us just year. But my friends anticipate the seder each year as much as I do.

As we prepare for Passover, it’s worth thinking about the story that underpins all our festive rejoicing.

Asking questions is an integral part of the Passover seder as we reflect upon how our ancestors’ journey from slavery to freedom is also our own.

One host strives to keep the seder lively and engaging for everyone – and broaden participants’ understanding of what it means to join in the storytelling.
