PJFM is a proud partner of the 2024 Freedom Seder Revisited, a signature event of the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.
As many Jews prepare for Passover, the most widely celebrated Jewish holiday, The Weitzman invites people of all backgrounds to join them for this long-running and beloved annual museum event. Experience an artfully curated lineup of speakers, storytellers, and musicians as they reflect on traditional Passover themes such as freedom, renewal, transmitting traditions, and welcoming the stranger.
This year’s event features stories from members of Mural Arts Philadelphia’s Restorative Justice Program; remarks and poetry from spoken-word artist Vanessa Hidary, aka “The Hebrew Mamita;” and music from the most exciting band in Philadelphia, Snacktime, who — fresh off their first U.S. tour — will lead us in song together throughout the evening. Dinner will be served halfway through the show when performances will stop for all to converse with their neighbors and enjoy the delicious kosher food provided by CookNSolo.
This annual event is inspired by the historic 1969 Freedom Seder, where hundreds of people of all backgrounds gathered to explore and celebrate freedom in the context of the civil rights movement. This communal event invites you to the museum’s table for an evening commemoration, stories, performances, and community exploration of freedom in America today. Rabbi Arthur Waskow, author of the original Freedom Seder in 1969, will be one of the speakers.
The 2024 Freedom Seder Revisited is presented by the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in production with First Person Arts and Mural Arts Philadelphia, and in partnership with the Shalom Center, PJFM, and Tribe 12
