Nepal Seder Is Pieced Together Suitcase by Suitcase

It’s past 11 o’clock at night at the Chabad House in Kathmandu, Nepal, and a calm breeze passes through the Jewish center’s courtyard. Rabbi Chezky Lifshitz is wrapping up a Torah class he has been giving to 30 Israelis, and a few more sit about chatting. Although a serene quietness envelopes this Himalayan Chabad House, it is less than a week before Passover and Lifshitz still does not have all the supplies necessary to ensure that Kathmandu’s iconic Seder – along with three others held in other parts of the country – can take place.
