Last year. Public spaces closed and a pandemic was just beginning to upend and shut down the world. The creators of Saturday Night Seder thought they’d be celebrating Passover with family and friends but were instead in their homes under lockdown. They opened their digital doors to tell the timeless story of moving from darkness to light, all while holding (cyber)space for viewers to process the unknown. “Next Year,” an original song by Shaina Taub, Benj Pasek, Mark Sonnenblick, and Hannah Friedman, premiered during 2020’s Saturday Night Seder. Now, after a year of pausing and reflecting in our homes amid countless hardships, losses, and lessons learned, we sing “Next Year” again, with the hope that although it won’t be easy, things will get better. Honor this Shabbat by going to onetable.org/pause for your own opportunity to mark this moment.
