Our Seder-Planning Tip of The Week: Start With Why
What's the secret to hosting a great gathering? Sticking with a PURPOSE. We all celebrate for different reasons, whether it's connecting with our history, raising awareness about modern day inequalities, or simply bonding with our family over a marathon of silly songs. Why are you hosting? What does the holiday mean to you? Who are you inviting? And what do you hope your guests will get out of the evening?
Watch: Simon Sinek's TED Talk "How Great Leaders Inspire Action"
