Online Only, Zoom Meeting
Contact:
Event website

Rabbi Kushner will lead three Monday sessions about Passover, via Zoom, beginning on March 23 on how to celebrate what may be one one of the most memorable Seders in Jewish history!  We will explore some classical texts on the Great Feast of Freedom including such topics as What is Redemption? How to keep seven year-olds interested? What is hometz anyway? We will also share strategies for celebrating very small sedarim. Anne Frank’s family did it. Jews aboard ships have done it. Perhaps now we should have Elijah share a place at the table with a laptop set on Zoom. One thing is for sure, there will be many amazing stories.
