Young Adult Taglit-Birthright Israel: Free 10 Day Trip Summer 2010
 Passover Seder Matching Program
Monday, March 29, 2010
We are pleased to announce our first Young Adult Passover Seder Matching Program, which will take place on the first night of Passover, Monday, March 29, 2010. Traditionally Passover is a holy day that encourages us to host Seders in our own homes with family and friends. Even more important, our tradition calls upon us to invite Guests to our Seder. In keeping with this tradition, we are calling upon our Young Adult Community to be Seder Hosts and invite as many Seder Guests as possible. Email Mike to apply. Please indicate if you want to be a Seder Host or Seder Guest. **The FIRM deadline to apply is Friday, March 19, 2010**
Here’s how the Seder Matching Program works: Seder Hosts are free to plan their own Seder and are encouraged to be creative. Hosts must invite at least one Seder Guest and are encouraged to welcome as many as possible. Seder Hosts are invited to a Passover planning class, Mastering the Art of Passover Preparations: Recipes for a Successful Seder, on Wednesday March 3rd, 7:00 – 9:00 PM at Temple Emanu-El.
Seder Guests will be matched, as best as possible, to a Seder that fits their needs. We ask that Seder Guests be flexible when matched with a Seder, as not all requests can be satisfied. ** Priority registration is available for Congregation Emanu-El members** If you are not a member, we will try our best to match you with a Seder, but it depends on the number of Seder Hosts available. If we are unable to match you, or a Seder does not fit your needs, you are welcome to attend Congregation Emanu-El’s Community Seder, on the 2nd night of Passover, on Tuesday, March 30. Registration for the Community Seder is required at www.emanuelsf.org/register
It is not too late to become a member of Congregation Emanu-El and qualify for priority registration. Email Mike for a membership packet. Membership rates start as low as $200 (that’s about 55 cents a day). You can set a payment schedule and we have a “voluntary dues” program for the first fiscal year of membership. (Ask us about other membership benefits, including High Holy Day tickets, event discounts, access to Clergy when you need, and more…)

 Join a Havurah!
What is a havurah?
A havurah is a small group of people who gather to form a community, celebrate holidays, and learn more about Jewish subjects of interest. Groups meet in members' homes, or at other chosen places such as the movies, museums, or parks. Havurah members form lasting bonds by creating extended families.
Who joins a havurah?
Anyone who will enjoy connecting in a smaller group within the larger Congregation community. Groups are arranged periodically throughout the year as applications are received.
What does a havurah provide its members?
Many different things! A havurah offers an opportunity to form an extended family that celebrates holidays, socializes, and learns new things together.
What might be the focus of a havurah?
The limit is set only by the members' imaginations! A havurah may meet for social or cultural purposes, community service, or service to the Temple. We rely upon the ingenuity of our members to come up with unique and interesting havurah activities. The Temple staff and clergy are available to you as a resource.
Now accepting applications for the Couples Havurah, Outdoors Havurah, or Create-Your-Own. Email Mike at mamerikaner@emanuelsf.org
