Everything Passover Table Runner
Want a colorful runner to put on display during the seder? Check out Arielle Zorger Designs’ Everything Passover table runner ($64), which features imagery for the holiday like frogs from the plagues, a kiddush cup and matzah.

“Dayenu” – it’s a classic Passover song and a good motto for when life just get overwhelming. Display this Hebrew on a trendy sweatshirt from ModernTribe ($45). It comes in pink, light and dark blue, gray and black and is pre-shrunk with a soft feel.
