The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has turned daily life into a challenge. The things we used to take for granted are no longer available to us, such as spending holidays together with the whole family.

Passover used to be a festival in which the entire family, along with relatives and friends, gathered around the same table to read the Haggadah.
Last year, the virus caught us unprepared and many Jews all over the world celebrated Passover under lockdown. This year, however, Haggadot.com has created innovative at-home Jewish rituals to help anyone looking to celebrate Passover, which begins the evening of March 28, at home.
"We spent the last year inviting our users to explore new at-home rituals, including home altar making for Rosh Hashanah and designing outdoor light sculptures for Chanukah," Haggadot.com Founder and CEO Eileen Levinson said.
"Our work gives people permission to make the holiday their own. We may feel fatigued, but our site keeps people spiritually nourished," she explained.
The website offers resources for a Haggadah that feels meaningful for a contemporary seder, with content tailored for traditional, Ashkenazi, Sephardi, liberal, feminist, and LGBTQ+ seder meals, as well as classical texts and contemporary explanations about Passover.
