Passover is the ultimate Jewish story \u2013 a tale of freedom, hope and food \u2013 which makes it the perfect holiday to share with the entire family. Passover is time for gathering, reflecting, telling stories and working towards a world with freedom for all. But planning to cover all that with kids may feel lofty \u2013 especially if you\u2019re a little hazy on the details yourself. The free Jewish book program PJ Library has you covered as a go-to destination for making Passover special.<\/p>\n

Visit PJ Library\u2019s Passover Hub at\u00a0pjlibrary.org\/passover\u00a0to find everything you need to plan your Passover seder, set your table and answer your kids\u2019 questions. There, you\u2019ll find PJ Library\u2019s free downloadable Passover Guide, a family-oriented primer that lays out how to prepare for the seders and the foods you need for your table, as well as offering up meaningful activities to make the most out of all eight days. The guide covers three main sections: how to get ready, what you need to get through the seder, and what comes after the festive meals have come to a close.<\/p>\n

Also available for digital download from the hub is In Every Generation: A PJ Library Family Haggada<\/i>h. It follows the arc of a traditional Haggadah and features all the major songs, prayers and moments, but also incorporates helpful framing and stories for kids so they can get the most out of this experiential meal. It also has new question prompts to help you reinvigorate your seder.\u00a0The online version can be downloaded for free, while the PJ Library Haggadah is available for purchase in paperback from Amazon.ca.<\/p>\n

Beyond the guide and the Haggadah, the Passover Hub features downloadable activities to keep little ones entertained during the seder, book lists, a step-by-step video playlist to help kids learn (or brush up on) the Four Questions, and recipes. There are fun and easy recipes like\u00a0Charoset Breakfast Balls, a perfect grab-and-go breakfast that\u2019s healthy and packed with protein,\u00a0Chicken Skewers with Avocado Dip, or\u00a0cholent, a classic hearty Jewish dish made in the slow cooker.<\/p>\n
