Make it sweet for everyone. This is our version of candy. Humor and shtick go a long way.
Who are we?
We spent 2 years co-creating meaningful moments for high school students. Every spring, we collaborated on our Pesach Shtick to bring simcha to our family sedarim. Now we share that with you.
Please enjoy, and share widely.
