Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois and its 50 centers throughout Illinois are making “Seder in a Box” available to the homebound.
The Jewish Festival of Passover – April 8-16, is highlighted by the Seder festive meal. Traditionally this is shared by families and communities, under the current circumstance many will be left with no invitations. The particular dietary restrictions of the Holiday and its associated traditional foods make preparation an overwhelming task for the uninitiated.
“Passover is family time and Chabad is family for people everywhere; and this year we can’t be together as family – The Lubavitcher Rebbe taught us that everything is a blessing – now we just have to look a little harder to find the blessing. So when we realized that our health required us to all shelter in place we knew had to bring Passover to the People and through our collective efforts we have created this program so every Jew anywhere in Illinois can have the seder essentials” said, Rabbi Baruch Epstein, Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois Director of Outreach, who created this project with his wife and children
Lubavitch Chabad’s 50 centers have historically offered communal Seder accommodations so for this year they developed Seder in a Box. Passover compliant foods including hand-made Matzo, ceremonial Seder plate foods, Hagada texts and Passover guides will be available for discounted purchase and pickup through your local Chabad center.
Visit CelebratePassover.org find your local center and follow the links to make your order. Last day to order is March 31.
