An international cadre of musicians, singers and dancers took part in a Third Seder conducted over Zoom. More than 1,100 people watched the program, which was organized live over Facebook by Rabbi Avram Mlotek and Moishe Rosenfeld of Golden Land Concerts and Connections. Hundreds of others have since viewed it on Youtube and other platforms.
The program featured Joanne Bortz, Alejandra Czarny, Sarah Gordon, Daniel Kahn, Frank London, Shura Lipovsky, Sarah Mlotek, Zalmen Mlotek, Eleanor Reissa, Joyce Rosenzweig, Steven Skybel, Lorin Sklamberg, Susan Watts, Michael Winograd and Steven Weintraub and was cosponsored by the Forward among many Yiddish cultural organizations.
