Cue fawning: In this video we spotted on Jezebel, Jake Gyllenhall hides the afikomen for Shalom Sesame, a Sesame Street series about Judaism. “The afikomen,” Jake explains, “is a piece of mazza you eat for dessert at the Passover seder. Before you can finish the seder, you have to find it.”
If you attend one seder this year, make it the second one—at 92YTribeca. You can engage on your own terms, ask anything, eat (or not eat) many things and find your own meaning in this elaborate and multi-layered Passover ritual. See the incredible smorgasbord of food that will be served, below.
