High school students from the Rav Teitz Mesivta Academy (Jewish Educational Center, Elizabeth, New Jersey), accompanied by their teacher and grade advisor, Rabbi Raphael Karlin, led an intergenerational model Passover Seder for the Café Europa Group of Holocaust survivors, at the Jewish Family Service of Central New Jersey main office in Elizabeth. The program was coordinated by Debbie Rosenwein, MSW, LCSW, JFSCNJ, coordinator for Holocaust Services.

Holocaust survivors from the Union County area meet twice a month for their Café Europa program, supported by a grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany and the Wilf Foundation. Students from the nearby high school interacted with the survivors and presented an abridged version of the traditional Passover Seder. The students entertained the group with a lively program complete with songs, dance and interpretations of traditional texts.
