If you’re away from home for Passover but would like to take part in the traditional holiday celebration called a seder, click on “Find a Seder” at http://www.chabad.org/passover.

Chabad-Lubavitch, a Jewish outreach organization, hosts 2,000 public seders around the world, from Beijing, Berlin and St. Petersburg, Russia, to Lima, Peru, and Nairobi, Kenya. Closer to home, you’ll find Chabad seders in Las Vegas, Miami, New Orleans and dozens of other U.S. cities, along with 80 college campuses. A trilingual seder — English, Hebrew and Spanish — is being held in Tijuana, Mexico. And what Chabad bills as “the world’s largest seder” takes place under a huge tent in Katmandu, Nepal, typically attracting 1,000 backpackers, many of them young Israelis.

Passover begins the night of April 12.

Friends and supporters of Brooklyn’s Jewish Children’s Museum joined together on Thursday, March 30 to mark a successful first year of operation at the Museum.

The dinner and award ceremony was chaired by Mr. John Kanas, Chairman, President and CEO of North Fork Bank. In his opening remarks, Kanas praised the Museum’s executive director, Rabbi Yerachmiel Benjaminson, calling him a “man with a vision” who stops at nothing to see that his dreams become realities.

The Museum is dedicated to the memory of Ari Halberstam, the 16 year old Yeshiva student gunned down by a terrorist on the Brooklyn Bridge in 1994. Ari’s mother, Devorah, was lauded by the many honorees and political leaders in attendance for turning her grief towards the creation of the Jewish Children’s Museum, a center that promotes tolerance and acceptance.
