SoCal's Jewish community is celebrating their first Passover since the Oct. 7th attack in Israel with interfaith events meant to build bridges.Following the Oct. 7 attack in Israel, many Southern California Jewish families are turning to their Passover traditions to share their experiences and build bridges with the larger community.
Jews shared their traditions with those of other faiths to show that they can overcome any obstacles. "We've always come together at Passover to gather, remember the past, and pray for a better future. Tomorrow doesn't have to look like yesterday," Farkas said. "When we're driving, especially in L.A., sometimes I see homeless people and I know that it's much harder for them to live than how it is for me and the people here. It feels nice to help them and I think that's the right thing to do," OBKLA volunteer Jacob Morozov said.
