Passover Memories and Traditions: From Iraqi Culinary Heritage to Modern Seder Celebrations

Passover is a time for sharing memories, traditions, and culinary delights. From Mary Shaked’s recollections of Iraqi Passover meals to Ora Hatan’s northern moshav traditions, we explore the diverse ways Passover is celebrated today. Ma’ayan Turner talks about using different symbols at the Seder table, like Miriam’s cup and an orange, to make it more meaningful. Yosef Bar Natan shares his childhood memories of Bukharan Seders, filled with colorful garments, singing, and laughter. While Passover is a time of joy and celebration, it’s a bittersweet time as we remember the 133 of our people still in captivity. By singing, telling stories, and passing down traditions, we keep the spirit of Passover alive and hope for a future where all of us can celebrate freedom.
