At Our Table is a reimagining of a Passover table constructed from locally sourced, discarded single-use plastics, illuminating the concept of convenience, throwaway culture, and environmental responsibility during a holiday centered on the joy and the sacrifices necessary in finding our own personal liberation.

Every Passover, Jews around the world give up leavened bread – hametz. It’s a sacrifice they make willingly to recall their ancestors’ journey from slavery to freedom. But this year, Reboot and Jonathan Bines, a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live! have created Plastover, asking Jews to make another kind of sacrifice – choosing to mindfully free ourselves from the plague of plastic waste by committing to eliminate the use of single-use plastic for the eight days of Passover. The goal is to add something more contemporary and directly meaningful into the holiday and have an immediate impact on the world.

At Our Table is a key piece of Plastover.
