"It was just a no brainer to us to switch to the digital world and continue the tradition online,” Kara Silverman, who will host a virtual Seder, said.
For nearly a decade, Chad Martin, 37, and Kara Silverman, 36, have held an “Orphan Seder” in New York for those unable to observe Passover with their families.
With no end to the coronavirus quarantine in sight and domestic and international travel grinding to a near standstill, religious holiday gatherings for traditions like Passover and Easter will, for the most part, largely take place online via video conferencing platforms like Zoom, FaceTime and Google Hangouts.

“We do normally read from the Haggadah and have some version of all the different courses. I think that the Zoom version is probably going to be very abbreviated,” Garber said.
