Labor Seder

Photo by Chris Garlock/Union CityEvery year, JUFJ engages with DC's Jewish community to retell the story of passover in the context of local efforts of working people in our communities.  As the story reminds us that it is our duty to side with the oppressed, and not with the Pharaohs in our community, each year the Labor Seder gives our community an opportunity to get involved.

The 2009 Labor Seder focused on the efforts of day laborers in D.C.

The 2010 Labor Seder drew attention to the need for a strong, well funded social safety net.

The 2011 Labor Seder focused on unemployment and the struggle to find and keep good jobs.
