What is the Easter Parade / Matzo Ball?
A joyful celebration that brings together diverse cultural traditions in a spectacular display of creativity, community, and connection. This not-necessarily-annual event blends the festive spirit of Easter with Jewish cultural traditions, creating a unique and inclusive celebration.
At its heart, the parade is about expression, transformation, and coming together as a community. Through the art of hat-making and the joy of parade, we celebrate individuality while building connections that strengthen our community bonds.
