PJ Library Passover Resources
Celebrate Passover with PJ Library and Our Partners!
Passover 2025/5785 begins on Saturday, April 12th (at sundown). We answer the question, “mah nishtana ha-leilah hazeh mikol haleilot” (why is this night different from all other nights?) by telling the story, reaffirming our commitment to freedom for all, sharing food, and making an ancient tradition relevant for today.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and PJ Library are here to help you celebrate Passover. You can join a community celebration or use our resources to create a celebration at home.
Family-Friendly Passover Events
Please see each host organization’s website for details and pricing. All events listed with a location are in-person. The ages listed with each program are recommendations for who would most appreciate the program, but all are welcome.
