This ritual, developed by T’ruah and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, places a tomato on the seder plate in recognition of the farmworker who picked the tomato and their struggles for justice. Since the “Tomato on the Seder Plate” was first introduced in 2012, thousands of Jews have added it to their home observance of Passover, discussing modern-day struggles for liberation alongside our own. Updated in 2019 with new text, new statistics, and beautiful new photography.
