Jews & Catholics learn, celebrate together at interfaith Seder
There is nothing out of the ordinary in seeing Rabbi Gary Gans or Cantor Neil Schnitzer standing in front of people who have Seder plates and Haggadot at their tables. Gans, rabbi emeritus at Cong. Beth Tikvah in Marlton, led the Seder, explaining the significance of various items as well as touching on the Passover traditions and history, while Schnitzer, of Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill, led people in the Seder’s songs and blessings.
What was out of the ordinary for those learning about the Four Questions, the 10 Plagues, and the Cup of Elijah were the location and the audience. The Seder was held at Saint Simon Stock Parish in Berlin. The audience of approximately 100 was majority Catholic. The event was sponsored by the Catholic Jewish Commission and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC).
