It’s that time of year — the less hyped version of Christmas season — when the festivities of Passover and Easter collide, signifying the start of spring and families coming together for the occasion. Passover, a Jewish holiday celebrating the freeing of the Jews from Egypt, marks an eight-day cleanse of leavened bread while reflecting on the Jewish plight and their fierce resistance to oppression. Meanwhile, Easter celebrates the revival of Jesus from the dead and the gift of life, approximately three days after his crucifixion, and is one of the holiest times of the year for Christians.

Around 400 people gathered Sunday for a community Seder hosted by the Anti-Defamation League  at the University of Massachusetts Boston Campus Center. Every year, the ADL organizes this community event for the city of Boston to discuss various issues surrounding immigration.
