With the recent spike in COVID-19 cases, some South Jersey Jewish families are quickly making last-minute changes to their Passover plans. People in the South Jersey community say they are hosting Seder outside because of the nice weather, while other families are planning to keep to traditions from before the pandemic.

For Ellen Feist’s family, the first night of Passover represents her and her husband’s sides of the family gathering around one Seder table to share in each side’s traditions.

“Not too big around nine people, but definitely bigger than in previous years,” Ellen Feist said via Zoom.
