In this true story about kindness across cultures, Jewish mother-daughter mountain climbing team Cheryl and Nikki Bart experience a seder like no other—seder on Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world! Initially Nikki expected they would spend their Passover huddled with strangers on an icy slope with only a bit of matzah to mark the holiday. Then came a very special surprise! An inspiring note from Cheryl and Nikki is included at the end.
