Join us for one of our favorite annual traditions: The 2nd Seder at Russ & Daughters Cafe! Passover is a time when we gather with family, friends, and community to tell the story, sing the songs, and eat the meal of the holiday. It’s also a time to reflect on how historical issues of social justice and freedom relate to our lives today. The conduit for these stories and conversations is food and ritual.
Russ & Daughters has been a part of people’s Passover seders for generations: we’ve always prepared Passover specialties for pick-up, delivery, and shipping to our customers in their homes. And while we’ll be doing that this year, we always look forward to welcoming people into our own space to celebrate.
Every year we invite friends of the Russ & Daughters family to lend their unique voice and talents to lead our seder. The Russ family is thrilled to have Andy Bachman as our host this year. Andy Bachman is a rabbi and community leader who has served communities in Brooklyn and at New York University during his career. He is now serving as Executive DIrector of the Jewish Community Project Downtown. Alex Weiser is a composer who creates acutely cosmopolitan music combining a deeply felt historical perspective with a vibrant forward-looking creativity, and he is also Director of Public Programs at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research where he curates and produces programs.
