Residents of Covenant House Celebrate Passover!

A few weeks ago, Covenant House residents celebrated Passover with a traditional Seder led by residents and their family. Thanks so much to the young students from the Jewish Community Day School (JCDS) who shared their beautiful singing voices with the more than one hundred residents who attended. The annual Seder dinner is one of many holidays celebrated throughout the year that brings the Covenant House community together to share rich traditions.
