The articles in this section were written for Passover 2020, when we were all shell-shocked by how quickly our lives had turned upside down and scrambling to figure out how to pull together Passover in ways we never anticipated. This year, depending where you live, you might be enjoying an entirely normal Passover with extended family and guests (Australia, New Zealand, we see you!), having a limited Seder with members of your pod, attending a socially distanced gathering, or, for some, staying home alone, entirely locked down just like last year.
