Tisch PDX

This year at our 2nd Annual JOC & Latinx Passover Seder, 21 people gathered across generations and traditions to weave together Jewish joy, memory, and resilience. 🌿

In many Sephardi and Mizrahi communities, there's a beloved tradition of hitting each other with scallions during the chorus of Dayenu. It's joyful, it's a little chaotic, and it carries real meaning: the sting of the scallions holds the memory of oppression and enslavement, while the song itself celebrates the gifts of freedom — one by one, it would have been enough.

Dayenu calls us to hold both truths at once. The pain and the gratitude. The wound and the liberation. That tension is exactly what our seder is built to explore. 🧅🌾
