My Shanghai Seder: Why This Night Was Different From All Others

by Lauren Kaufman ’96

On April 18, 2000, we drove to 1277 Beijing Xi Lu, the address of the Jewish Community of Shanghai’s office, where rebbetzin Dina Greenberg emailed me to pick up our Seder entrance tickets. The small room on the twentieth floor of a bleak office building was part makeshift workspace, part storage area filled with crooked wooden shelves overflowing with Hebrew books. The young Chinese girl manning the office who spoke broken English, collected $40 per person and gave me the invitations to the next evening’s festivities before calling Rabbi Shalom Greenberg to tell him I arrived. When she handed me the phone, I heard an Israeli-accented man, "Welcome to Shanghai! I hope you found the office OK. We’re looking forward to having you and your friends join tomorrow." He made sure I had directions and invited me to attend Passover Eve services at the synagogue down the road.
