Passover Zeder: Online, Clergy-led, Interactive Seder on the 2nd Night
Our clergy will lead an engaging seder – a zeder if you will – for all ages. You don’t need a Haggadah. Everything will be on the screen. Everyone is encouraged to have a filled seder plate – after all a little matza and maror never hurt anyone– and glass(es) of juice or wine, but join us even if you don’t. (You may also want a pillow for relaxing, candles to light, a bowl for washing, and salt water). There will be music, relevant messages for living through the second Passover during this pandemic, and participation!
