Avocado Seder: the sequel!

First night Seder is Sat 27/3. Avocado Seder will be the evening of Sunday 28, 7pm NYC time (NOTE: comment below if you want it to be later. The time is flexible for now.)

The format will be similar to last year’s, in that people will be invited to “lead” their own segment of the Seder. You can volunteer to lead a section even if you have NO IDEA what it’s all about – I’ll give you resources, and help walk you through it. You’ll basically have one little bit to research and write a little shpiel about – you can be as creative as you like (some people wrote songs last year!) or simply give us an explanation of what this bit is about. If you’re eager but you get stuck, I’ll be there to help you out.

Remember, Seder is all about discussion and storytelling. The point of Seder is to shoot the shit, tell stories, and pose big questions. At Seder, questions are much more important than answers.
