Ellis Island Passover

January 2025

Miriam feels disconnected from the Passover celebration until Uncle Ezra shares the story of his first seder in America with her. Uncle Ezra gives her a broader, more personal sense of the meaning of Passover and the importance of sharing family stories.

“highly recommended”—Jewish Book Council

“The book is as much about the importance of family stories as it is about Passover, underscoring how personal narratives can deepen and sustain heritage.”—Publishers Weekly

“Recommended. This is a part of history that needs to be shared.”—School Library Journal
