For families with young children (or anyone who wants a simpler experience), PJ Library offers a 15-minute Before-Bedtime Seder, with videos and songs that make it easy to celebrate at home. Chabad also has several videos available here. Printable HaggadahsThe PJ Library Family Haggadah is a wonderful resource designed especially for families and those celebrating at home. It is beautifully designed and easy to follow, with explanations of the traditions and links to videos of songs and blessings. You can download the free PDF version here. If you are looking for a traditional Haggadah to print and use at your Seder, Chabad also offers several versions that can be downloaded and printed. These options include a variety of traditional formats suitable for different levels of familiarity with the Seder. |
Passover Music PlaylistMusic is a joyful and meaningful part of Passover. Many families sing traditional songs during the Seder such as Dayenu, Chad Gadya, and Mah Nishtanah (The Four Questions).
If you’d like to listen along, learn the melodies, or simply bring the spirit of the holiday into your home, you can play the Passover playlists below. You can let the playlist run during your Seder preparation, play it with children who are learning the songs, or enjoy it anytime during the Passover holiday. The JCC-Federation of San Luis Obispo and Jewish Family Services are honored to support Jewish life across the Central Coast. We hope these resources help bring meaning, connection, and joy to your Passover celebration.
