18th Annual National Rainbow Seder with GLOE and Partners
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join GLOE for this annual event to celebrate Passover through an LGBTQ+ lens. Now in its eighteenth year, the National Rainbow Seder is one of the nation’s largest and longest-running Passover seders for the queer Jewish community and its allies.
This year’s theme, Liberation for All Who Journey: Remembering, Resisting, Rebuilding, invites us to retell the Passover story through a queer lens, honoring our ancestors’ path to freedom alongside the hard-fought progress of the LGBTQ+ equality movement. Our specially commissioned Haggadah (the Jewish text containing the Passover Story) weaves ritual, resistance, and joy into an evening where we can show up fully and celebrate liberation together.
This year’s seder will be led by Rabbis Atara Cohen and Avigayil Halpern with a keynote by Reverend Diego Miguel Sanchez.
We will also be honoring the life and legacy of Michael Singer, our dear friend, GLOE co-chair, and longtime EDCJCC board member. For decades, Michael committed himself to building joyful community, under the belief that sharing our stories with strength and pride helps create spaces where everyone can feel seen, safe, and celebrated.
