BuzzFeed’s Tasty announced they will be the official sponsor of the first-ever Clubhouse Passover Seder this coming Sunday, March 28th. The all-inclusive, diverse “Night of 1,000 Jewish Stars” program will usher in the most-celebrated Jewish holiday worldwide, taking a comedic, yet earnest, approach to the Passover Seder dinner highlighted by some of today’s most iconic Jewish actors, comedians, musicians, creators, Holocaust survivors, philanthropists, and equally important, allies.
The star-studded event co-hosted by actress and comedian Leah Lamarr and media personality Nicole Behnam, officiated by Sinai Temple’s Rabbi David Wolpe, and benefiting non-profit organization, Value Culture, will start promptly at 4:00 PM PDT / 7:00 PM EDT in the Hot on the Mic Club on Clubhouse and will be co-broadcast on Buzzfeed Tasty’s YouTube & Facebook channels and: www.PassoverSeder.club. All are welcome to celebrate in this cultural experience celebrating freedom for all, bringing generations of Jewish community together on a global scale.
“We wanted to bring all of our Jewish and non-Jewish friends together to tell the story of Passover in a way that’s celebratory, safe and inclusive, while also being able to drink copious glasses of wine” said Leah Lamarr, one of the show’s creators, head writers and co-producer.
“Clubhouse has this way of bringing people from all over the world together and creating a sense of community among people who otherwise would not be able to be at the same place at the same time,” said Nicole Behnam, co-producer and co-host of the show.
“Night of 1,000 Jewish Stars” will also provide a 21st century blockchain experience to commemorate the time-honored ritual of hiding the afikomen with a special matzo NFT (non-fungible token) — a one-of-a-kind collectible piece of digital art created specifically for the event. The unique NFT will be auctioned off during the Seder with 100% of proceeds benefiting Value Culture. Another will be hidden in the Clubhouse audience to be found. The auction itself will be held at afikomenNFT.com.
“I was excited by this idea because it is a chance to reimagine a tradition that is literally thousands of years old,” said fnnch, digital artist and creator of the matzo NFT. “If Clubhouse is the home in which Passover will take place, then hiding an NFT matzo — a singular piece that only one person can find — is the new hiding of the Afikomen.” This is fnnch’s second NFT, following his first NFT sale last week, auctioned for $70,000 in a clubhouse room with Mark Zuckerberg.
“Value Culture’s dream is coming true as we are celebrating freedom for all and diversity with this inclusive Passover Seder that not just Jewish people will enjoy,” says Founder & Executive Director, Adam Swig. “All donations will go towards supporting anti-hate, food security, and mental wellness initiatives.”
The one-night only event will feature special guest appearances and performances:
Jeff Garlin (actor/comedian), Michael Rapaport (actor/comedian), Mayim Bialik (actress), Chloe Fineman (SNL), Noa Tishby (actress/author), Tehran Von Ghasri (comedian), Julius C Thomas (Hamilton), Adam Kantor (actor/singer-Fiddler On the Roof/The Band’s Visit), Jonathan Raviv (actor/singer-The Band’s Visit), Sophie Auster (musician/actress), Patti Stanger (celebrity matchmaker), Jared Freid (comedian/@betches), Jimmie Fails (actor), Stevie Nelson (actress), Rabbi David Wolpe, Kosha Dillz (rapper), Sami Steigmann (Holocaust survivor), Marie Doduck (Holocaust survivor), Scott Rogowsky (comedian/HQ Trivia host), Jessica Kirson (comedian), Sam Morril (comedian), Andrew Zimmern (chef), Daniel Shemtob (chef), Jake Cohen (chef/author), Uyanga Bold (musician), Joanne Weir (chef), Andrew Zimmern (chef), Manouschka Guerrier (chef), Tony Kaye (American History X film director), Happie Hoffman (Jewish musician), Ben Jaffe (Preservation Hall Jazz Band), Joanne Weir (chef), Angelo Moore (musician), Will Weinbach (GenZ entrepreneur), Gili Yalo (Israeli musician), Liz Kleinrock (Teach & Transform/TED speaker), Ben Gleib (comedian), Matthew Friend (impressionist), among other surprises.
“If 2020 was the year of the Zoom Seder, 2021 is the year of the Clubhouse Seder,” said Executive Producer Randi Zuckerberg. “Complete with hilarious Passover anecdotes from some of the greatest storytellers, music with the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and prayers delivered by some of the world’s most important Rabbis, ’Night of 1,000 Jewish Stars’ will absolutely be the most entertaining Seder you have ever experienced.”
