At the Pensacola Chabad Center, around 100 attendees gathered for a traditional Seder, where Rabbi Mendel Danow emphasized the importance of seeing oneself as part of the Exodus story. Similarly, Temple B’nai Israel in Spartanburg hosted its first Passover Seder in 20 years, drawing 75-80 participants and highlighting the significance of sharing stories and symbolic foods during the celebration. Meanwhile, UF Chabad in Gainesville is providing meals for students every night of Passover, catering to those who wish to partake in the festivities.
