This year, as we gather around the Passover table with family and friends, we encourage you to include some personal touches in your Seder. Incorporate questions that integrate the Passover themes with your Jewish values. Check out some new Haggadahs. Or make your Passover table festive by adding a Passover craft created by your children.  

Here are several suggestions from The Associated and its network of agencies on ways to make your holiday memorable. 

Rabbi Aaron Levitt, executive director of The Associated’s Jewish Educational Services, has put together a list of discussion questions to expand upon the themes throughout the Seder. Here are his suggestions for how you can engage your whole family after singing Dayenu. For more conversation starters go to
associated.org/passover. 

Do we ever feel satisfied or are we always hungry for more? 
Do we focus only on the destination or also on the journey? 
Make a list of the things in your life for which you are grateful. 
Ask kids to name one thing that starts with each letter of the alphabet

Cover the outside of your goblet with masking tape. 
Tear tissue paper into small pieces. 
Using a paintbrush, apply sealer (such as Mod Podge) to a small area of the goblet. 
Overlap paper pieces on top of the sealer, then brush the sealer on top of them. 
Repeat until the outside of the goblet is covered. 
Let it dry. 

Let’s Eat 

Looking for something different this year for your Seder table. Check out these delicious recipes from community members: 

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim the bottom of the brussels sprouts and slice each in half, top to bottom. Heat oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers; put sprouts cut side down in one layer in pan. Add garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
Cook, undisturbed, until the sprouts begin to brown on the bottom and then transfer to oven. Roast, shaking the pan every 5 minutes, until the sprouts are brown and tender, about 10-20 minutes. 
Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Stir in balsamic vinegar and serve hot or warm. 

In a mixer, whip the egg whites with the sugar until the mixture is white and fluffy. Add almond flour and salt. Mix until a sticky dough is formed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Put parchment paper on a baking sheet. 
From the cooled dough, create small balls and place on the baking sheet. Leave room between them. 
Cook 15-20 minutes. The cookies are ready once they are evenly golden. 
Take them out of the oven and cool down for 20 minutes.
