NEW YORK -- If you're away from home for Passover but would like to take part in the traditional Jewish holiday celebration called a seder, click on "Find a Seder" at www. chabad.org/passover.

Chabad-Lubavitch, an outreach organization, hosts 2,000 public seders around the world. Canadian cities include Vancouver and Victoria.

Passover begins the night of April 12.

Lubavitcher Jews are ultra-Orthodox, but you need not be observant to attend the seders. However, you should call ahead to reserve a spot so the seder organizers know how many guests to expect. The Chabad seders are free; donations are accepted.
