Bringing Passover to the Northern Most Jewish Community in the World
Chabad.org
A group of four student rabbis collaborates with the local Chabad center to bring the Passover celebration to the Jewish community in Fairbanks, Alaska, known as the northernmost Jewish community in the world. This initiative highlights the unique challenges and special efforts needed to maintain Jewish traditions and religious observances in remote locales, emphasizing the universal and unifying nature of Passover. The student rabbis help facilitate a communal experience that connects these distant Jews with their heritage, ensuring that even in the frozen wilderness, the warmth of tradition shines through.
