Why is this night different from all other nights? After 40 years of hosting Passover seders, Sue holds out hope that it won’t be. Miriam, her youngest, could show up after all. And when she does, they’ll retell the Passover story, and Sue’s family will cross to liberation, as they have every other year. But it’s April 2024, and history is climbing on the furniture, blood is pouring out of the cabinets, and the future is knocking at the door. Palestine is here. Palestine has always been here. Tonight, one family confronts an identity beyond violence. What story will they tell? Who gets to be free? This is SEDER.
