Passover Seder 101
“Wild Asia: Life At Extremes”
Thousands More Expected To Celebrate The Seder, Due To A Rise In Antisemitism
A Breathtaking Giant Screen Adventure Across Earth’s Most Dramatic Landscapes

The eight-day festival of Passover is celebrated this year from sundown on Wednesday evening, April 1st, 2026, until after nightfall on Thursday, April 9th, 2026, with its highlight, the festive “Seder” dinners on the first 2 nights of the holiday.
