1) Get in the Mood:
- Check for Chametz, even symbolically
- Learn the Torah of the times
- Expand your definition of Passover prep - maybe it's a collage, a game, or just a quick scan of the Haggadah (Ashkenaz or Edot Hamizrach)
2) Find a Hevruta:
- Do some research (easy on Sefaria!) Talk over a text on your next coffee break (Check out Sefaria's Passover Reading List or see what happens when you do a Sefaria search)
- Talk and learn through the chores (download the app)
3) Be (Distantly) Social:
- A sheet is just a webpage - share your ideas online, and include lots of media
- Create a group
- Find a friend or a teacher on Sefaria, with sidebar or search
4) Hold on to Old Customs:
- Make a DIY haggadah to document and share your traditions
5) Try Something New:
- Learn from someone else's Haggadah
- Find an intriguing Passover sheet
- Seder on Sefaria
6) Collaborate with Others:
- Your haggadah can be collaborative
- Even your youngest seder attendees can add pictures, and anyone can contribute
7) Invest Food - whatever it may be - with Meaning:
- Learn more about Karpas, even if you don't have your normal favorite "green"
- Take a deep dive into Yachatz, or find more Matzah resources on Sefaria
- Make your wine / grape juice consumption count, with this sheet on the number of cups
8) Seize the Moment:
- What resonates more in this moment?

9) Ask All the Questions
- You can ask questions even if you are alone! Consider collecting some in advance
- Encourage whoever you are with to bring all their questions - this sheet discusses the act of asking questions
10) Read a Good Book
- There are so many on Sefaria! (a great sheet counts too)
- Redeeming Relevance, Exodus, Essays by Rabbi Francis Nataf
- Song of Songs, read by some on the Shabbat of Passover
- Eight Chapters, Rambam's introduction to Pirkei Avot (Saying of the Fathers) which is often studied between Passover and Shavuot
11) Allow Space for Emotions:
- Rituals reflect deeper meaning, as this sheet on Korech (the Passover Sandwich) explains
12) Cultivate Gratitude:
- Dayeinu is the perfect opportunity, and this sheet will help guide you
13) Create an Essentials-Based Menu:
- Let the Seder plate be your guide
14) Share a Song

15) Have Fun
