Passover, Holiday of Video
By Dan Friedman March 26, 2010
Passover is the quintessential symbolic and educational festival. The fun educational tool of choice at the start of this century is the web video. Amichai Lau Lavie, of Storahtelling fame, makes that point exactly, in this video shot at an educational gathering pulled together by Repair the World and Uncommon Schools.
Jake Marmer, doing performative poetry at his computer, makes a slightly different point about matzo (or should that be Umtza?) in a video here at the Forward.
Meanwhile, those industriously educative Jews on the West Coast have put together their latest G-dcast piece about Pesach which I’m posting here so that everyone can watch it with their favorite schooler or pre-schooler, whether Binah, Levi, Anika, Mika, Thalia, Max, Wolfie or Irving.
A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
