Passover traditions and memories . . . .
A time for family gatherings.
A time to ask the ”four questions.”
A time to search for the afikomen.
A time to recite the ten plagues.
A time for choroses and horseradish on matzo.
A time for Elijah’s glass of wine.
The Passover Seder allows us to join together in the warmth and safety of our homes to celebrate and remember our Jewish heritage.
If music and song have been a part of your Passover Seder over the years the recordings in the JSA’s Passover Collection of Songs are sure to revive nostalgic memories of the past and to inspire new traditions for the future. Read More About This…

When we were done, of course, not a crumb of chametz remained. And the cooking and baking! I can still close my eyes and imagine the wonderful aromas that emanated from my mother’s kitchen. Matzo meal cookies were my favorites. It was my job to stick a finger in the center of the cookie mixture and then fill the indentation with a bit of strawberry jam.
Now my grand-daughter helps her mother make the cookies. The cast has changed but the play is the same. One generation passes customs and traditions on to the next. Read More About This…
