In this day and age, technology and education are advancing so rapidly it’s hard to keep up.  Just in case you feel threatened that all these advancements might happen to “pass over” you, in honor of Passover, we are bringing you a tech-savvy, literary round-up! These new innovations can help make your Passover Seder a more fun-filled family experience.

1. Feeling a little lost about what to do for your Seder this year?  Haggadot.com, a new take on the Open Source Haggadah, allows you to create your own Haggadah. Users can upload their own content and borrow from others to create a Haggadah that makes your Seder a more personal and spiritual experience.
2. Even iTunes wants to help make your Seder interactive and educational.  iMahNishtnah, an iPhone application, is a new way to practice reading over the Four Questions.  It’s colorful, fun and easy to use for children!
3. Itunes also offers a complete Haggadah application for iPhone. In case you forgot your text or you’re in a rush, this brief but thorough guide will definitely come in handy.
4. A group of 140 Rabbis have decided to add a bit of excitement to the Passover story by reenacting the tale online through tweets, giving the ancient story a contemporary setting. This project will continue through the holiday.  Stay updated with TweetTheExodus!
5. Want to make Passover a bit more kid-friendly? Babaganewz’s Pesach Central has a multitude of movies, games and recipes all about making Passover more fun for your family.
6. In addition to all their great Passover resources, MyJewishLearning is holding a Best Seder Ever. You can submit your own story or video describing your best Passover. Hurry since the contest ends today at 5pm!

If you happen to know of any other online Passover educational tools, games, recipes or anything at all, let us know in the comment section.

We hope you have a happy and healthy Pesach!
