Speakers included journalist and author Naomi Klein, Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour and several Jewish students suspended from Columbia University and Barnard College over the protests that have rocked US campuses in recent days.
The original Freedom Seder sought to connect the Jewish exodus story with the struggle for civil rights in the US and against the war in Vietnam.

Jewish groups have staged a number of high profile, anti-war actions in the US since 7 October, shutting down sites from the Capitol to the Statue of Liberty.
