CSP – Seder Night with My Ancestors
Step into Pesach through the voices of modern Jewish writers in a lively and thought-provoking session that brings the holiday’s stories, themes, and celebrations to fresh literary life. Together we’ll explore powerful Israeli poems and songs by Yehuda Amichai and Chava Alberstein in Hebrew and translation, alongside evocative English-language works by writers such as Joanne Limburg, Marge Piercy, and Isaac Rosenberg. Along the way, we’ll also savor the wit, warmth, and occasional chaos of memorable literary seders in the fiction of Michael Chabon and Herman Wouk, discovering how modern Jewish literature captures both the depth and the delight of the Passover experience.
