Coming together for Passover this year is a big deal! It marks a break in, and hopefully the end of, the COVID pandemic. While we wish it were a chance simply to breathe free, it occurs while the Ukraine suffers brutal aggression from Russia, and the Earth, in all her finite glory, suffers continuing corruption from us all.

This Passover provides an opportunity to look at how we survived past tyrants and past travesties, and to develop a plan to free ourselves and others from the tyrants and travesties of today.
This Passover, we come together as two congregations and as friends, to sing, learn, discuss, celebrate, breathe, enliven our souls, and ignite our passions for justice and healing.
We will follow some of the familiar forms of Passover Seder (a meal wrapped around a teaching narrative), including blessings, foods as story-telling tools, and a focus on the story of our ancient journey into the wilderness. We’ll also sing melodies both traditional and new.
This Seder is designed to feel comfortable for those who celebrate Passover yearly, and those who have never attended a Seder. Therefore, no prior Passover Seder experience is needed.
Come One, Come All, come open-hearted or come to open your heart, come and celebrate the rebirth that comes in springtime.
We welcome you,
Rabbi Lev and Sue, your journey guides through the Seder
