Phase 2: Dayenu Challenge (April 3-23)
Join the first ever LIVE viral initiative on social media. Broadcasting live together, we put our similarities above our differences. By celebrating multiple heritages and exchanging cultures, we transcend above our cultural differences and celebrate a broader message of inclusivity.
Passover is a season of celebration for Jewish people, centered around the Seder dinner. Pair up with a friend of Jewish heritage to celebrate.

On March 20, Norooz (“new day") symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. It marks the end of winter and start of spring.
Any friend: ideally one who will help spread the word. One of you should be Iranian, the other not. Whichever has more Facebook friends, use that account to go LIVE.
To go LIVE together with a friend from afar, this free service, like a video conference. Alternatively, if you have two devices, use one to go LIVE, and use the other to video-call your friend.
It's easy! Follow the two screenshots below. Before you start, you'll need text to describe your LIVE video.
Sample text: It's Passover season! I'm taking the #LiveTogether Dayenu Challenge with my friend ____. Please pass it on. You're next: ___, ___, and ___.
After you go Live, you can copy the link for your video and share it. Or, from a desktop computer, download the video and post it on other social media.
Alternatively, if you don't use Facebook at all, record a video and post it on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat.

The #LiveTogether campaign was started by Ali Partovi, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor, to promote tolerance by engaging people in an uplifting and fun narrative. Many friends helped conceive and execute it, and new help is always welcome.
