School's Model Seder Features Holocaust Survivors

LAWRENCE, NY — As Jews around the world celebrate Passover this weekend, one Five Towns school gathered on Tuesday to preview the holiday.

Brandeis School sixth-graders hosted their annual model Seder. Early childhood, lower school and middle school students were also part of the activities.

As a bittersweet part of the Seder, the school opened its doors to 20 holocaust survivors, and featured a presentation from Roland Merton, who recalled his family's experience during World War II.

There were songs and the traditional reading of the Passover Hagaddah.

The first night of Passover begins Friday at sundown.
