Prime Minister Netayahu just announced a nationwide curfew in Israel forbidding people to gather beyond their immediate family for the Passover Seder on Wednesday night. This unprecedented move makes it a crime to leave one’s home between 6pm Wednesday night until the following morning. Never since the days of the first Passover in Egypt have the people of Israel been forbidden to leave their homes on the eve of Passover. Netanyahu ended his impassioned speech with a prayer that we be led “from isolation to freedom”, a play on the traditional blessing “from slavery to freedom”! In light of this, I have decided to do an online live Passover Seder (or: un-Seder) this Wednesday night.
