Join Rabbi Hanan, Jordan Michels, & Ad Olam
in Re-experiencing the Exodus--our journey of liberation--in a new and exciting way!

All are welcome!

This Seder is for those daring to try something new. We will honor the forms of the traditional Seder, but sometimes in new or essential ways. We encourage all those wanting or needing a traditional Seder to create or find a home based Seder for Wednesday, April 12.

(If you need help finding or creating a family seder and/or you have space at your own seder for one or two guests, please email Ad Olam ASAP so we can help everyone find a first-night seder.)

In this seder we will

  • Discover lost forms of observing this ancient holiday.

  • Learn the original THREE QUESTIONS, and seek their answers.

  • Take a journey into the wilderness.

  • Return to the ancient custom of integrating the meal into the Seder.

  • Explore the Passover Story in the context of your life.

  • Enjoy the accessibility of the prayers, rituals, and wonderful songs and music.

The seder ceremony will begin at 6:00 pm and will go until 8:30-9:00 pm. During this time will be our seder meal. This will be a vegetarian potluck. All who attend are requested to bring their own food & beverages to share. Matzoh & seder plate fixings will be provided.

If you're planning on attending, would like more information, and/or would be willing to help out in one of our much needed volunteer positions, Please RSVP as soon as possible by registering here or emailing Ad Olam directly. We will only be able to conduct the seder if we have enough volunteers and enough people pre-register. (Unfortunately, Rabbi Hanan is unable to take phone calls right now. If you have any questions or need to contact the Rabbi, please email Ad Olam.)

 

We need your response by Sunday April 9th noon at the latest. We will post the website to confirm we have the numbers and volunteers to make it a go by Monday April 10th.
