Traditional Seder:   Led by Rabbi Jeffrey Summit, this Seder in both in English and Hebrew, has it all - singing, table-discussions and a rousing rendition of Dayanu complete with scallion whips! Come to this Seder and experience it for yourself (Granoff Family Hillel Center).

Liberal Seder:  This interactive, student led Seder features creative English readings and progressive interpretations of the Passover Haggadah. Join members of the Reform community and others and relive the Exodus as if you were there (Faculty Dining - Carmichael Hall).

Social Justice Seder: On Passover, we are commanded to feel as if we were slaves in Egypt . This interactive, student-led Seder will explore the stories of people who live in slavery and poverty every day. We'll also discuss ways in which we can affect change in the world and work for justice. Open to everyone, regardless of religious background. (Granoff Family Hillel Center)

Graduate Students Seder: This home-based Seder brings together students from all the graduate programs in a welcoming, liberal setting.  The evening will be led by students. For more information please contact Jessica Cohen, Graduate Programs Intern at jess.cohen@tufts.edu. (Tickets required.)
