""The Seder is about asking urgent questions - about freedom, responsibility, and how we care for one another," Dorf said in a statement. "Each year, we bring together voices who challenge, inspire, and reflect the world as it is - and as it could be.""
"Founded in 1991 and held at the East Village's Knitting Factory and later at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the Downtown Seder brings together artists, activists and public figures for a contemporary retelling of the Exodus story."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani will attend a Passover Seder at City Winery, marking a significant cultural event. The Downtown Seder, hosted by Michael Dorf, supports Seeds of Peace, a nonprofit fostering dialogue among youth from conflict regions. This year's event features notable guests, including Don Lemon and David Broza. Mamdani's participation occurs during a politically sensitive time, as he has faced criticism from Zionist organizations due to his stance on Israel and previous executive orders related to antisemitism.
