For Passover, A Multicultural Seder in Brighton

Across the world today, many people are celebrating Passover. The Jewish festival that commemorates the Israelites' escape from slavery in Egypt began last night. It lasts a week in Israel and eight days elsewhere.

The holiday's traditional ceremony is called a Seder, where friends and family gather for a meal and readings. We visited one at Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly in Brighton. Not all the residents there are Jewish, but many join the ceremony to celebrate freedom.

This program aired on April 13, 2006. The audio for this program is not available.
