Passover provides perspective as world fights modern plague

On Wednesday night, as Jews around the world observe Passover, they will have to adapt long-standing traditions. Usually, Passover is a time when extended family or community members join together for a Seder meal to commemorate the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. This year, the holiday will have to be observed with Jews in isolation beyond their immediate families.

Those whose level of observance allows them to use electricity will likely be connecting with outside family through a video conferencing platform to try to replicate as best as possible some sort of communal experience.
