Family-friendly Passover Guide for the East Bay

Passover 2019 begins in the evening of Friday, April 19 and ends on the evening of Saturday, April 27. As the grocery store shelves fill with matzoh, we thank our friends at the Jewish Federation of the East Bay for sponsoring this guide to family-friendly places to celebrate Passover in the East Bay. If you're wondering, Passover is an eight-day holiday celebrating the Jewish peoples' journey from slavery in Egypt to freedom as Israelites. If you're seeking to share Passover traditions with your children, read on.

Happy Passover, Pesach Sameach from Sprout: Helping Jewish Families Grow Together! Sprout is the Jewish Federation of the East Bay’s education initiative. Passover is a time to celebrate freedom with family, and friends. We are including this list of events taking place in the East Bay (and beyond) and hope your family has a happy Pesach.
