FAQ: Are Passovers observed away from Jerusalem acceptable?
A: They are unacceptable. (Deut 16:5-6)
Passover is a pilgrimage type of feast. If Jews are out of country and can't
make it to Israel on time, they have to wait and do theirs one month later
than usual (Num 9:5-11). Everyone who partakes of a Seder this coming
March 27, 2021 will be doing so illegally should they do so while here at
home.
In addition, the lamb has to be roasted with fire and eaten entirely intact. It
must not be butchered (Ex 12:9). Modern Seders consist of dismembered
lambs. Everyone who partakes of a lamb in that condition will be doing so
illegally.
The rules governing Passover are specific (Num 9:12). Failure to comply
with them merits execration. (Num 9:13 and Deut 27:26)

We are to obey in the spirit of the commands, not obey legalistically. The spirit of the command to celebrate Christ on an appointed day with joy and feasting is the spirit of the command, not physically going to Jerusalem.
