March 19, 2013, New York, NY - Passover begins Monday evening, March 25 and concludes Monday evening, April 1, 2013. The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) has an abundance of Passover resources on the newly launched ReformJudaism.org, the first website to approach Jewish life, practice, learning, and social justice from a modern Jewish perspective.

Find Passover basics including history and rituals, a glossary of terms and what to expect at a seder meal. There are also dozens of recipes, free ecards, an interactive seder plate, instructional videos, a social justice guide, recommended books and music, family activities and blog posts with personal Passover reflections.
