Let's take a moment to pause and bring some joy to the children in our lives before and during this intense holiday season. In the process, don't forget your inner child as well! Passover is a time when tradition, history, and family come together to celebrate freedom and deliverance. Children eagerly anticipate the Seder meal, hearing the story of the Exodus, and participating in the fun and educational aspects of the holiday. Make sure you're all having fun no matter your age!
