Sephardic Orthodox rabbis say Passover Seder can be held via videoconference – In bold ruling, some Israeli religious authorities say use of technology permissible because it allows families to celebrate together during time of crisis | Timesofisrael
In what may be one of the boldest rulings issued on technology in recent years, several Sephardic Orthodox rabbis in Israel have declared that families may conduct their shared Seder over videoconference.
While Orthodox religious law normally bans the use of electronic devices on Shabbat and festivals, the ruling, signed by 14 rabbis, permits the use of software to connect the elderly to their families on the first night of Passover.
