Downtown Seder, currently in its 12th year, is a unique New York City experience bringing a modern and creative twist to a traditional Passover Seder feast. The event features a number of musicians, comedians, political figures and other performers, who all sing, dance, recite poetry, or discuss a subject relevant to the Jewish holiday.
Instead of the traditional “four questions” asked at the Seder, the participants ask questions and encourage discussion on contemporary issues such as human slavery, gun control, and climate change.
Joining Lou Reed at Downtown Seder will be his wife, performance artist Laurie Anderson, comedian Judy Gold, Israeli musician David Broza, composer Frank London, comedian Joel Chasnoff, and many more.
The 12th annual Downtown Seder takes places at the City Winery in NYC on March 19 – six days prior to the first night of the actual holiday.
