Ashton Macklin, the 2023-24 Judaism Unbound/New Voices Magazine Jewish Media Fellow, created a beautiful and deeply moving Passover resource. Check it out at www.judaismunbound.com/sederfortwo, and you can find printable and accessible versions at the links below.

Ashton: Passover, like many Jewish holidays, has over time molded its practices to contemporary conditions. Some notions of it have become the norm, and there can be a danger that we expect every Jew to experience holidays in that particular manner. Being one of those Jews who does not experience Passover via a classic family seder, I created this vector collage to illustrate how I believe others like me can connect to “house holidays” such as Passover.
