Did you know that Passover is not the only time of year to hold a Seder? Seders have long been traditional on Tu BShvat and more recently have entered the calendar of Yom Haatsmaut, Israel Independence Day observance. Along with the massive community events, a Seder is a wonderful way of marking this pivotal moment in Jewish history.
We invite you to consider the Israel Seder Project, developed by Rabbi Samuel Barth, for your congregation or community. Click here for details.
