About this episode

Ari and Anna explore the intertwined celebrations of Passover and Easter for interfaith families, discussing traditions, rituals, and insights from a special guest.

Join Ari and Anna as they embark on a Passover and Easter preview, exploring why these two spring holidays are so central—and so intertwined—for interfaith families. Dive into the overlap between the Jewish festival of liberation and the Christian celebration of resurrection, discovering how families navigate co-occurring traditions, meals, and even the secular excitement of March Madness! Topics addressed include: How interfaith families manage celebrating both Passover and Easter, often within days (or hours!) of each other The theological differences and shared messages of hope, renewal, and redemption found within these holidays Creative ways families blend rituals, like mixing the afikoman and Easter eggs or merging secular and sacred traditions Special guest insights from Anna's father, Pastor Ted DeWeese, sharing memories of Christian Seder participation and interfaith learning, from last year's Passover/Easter LiveStreamathon!
