Pre K-12th Grade Passover Whole School Family Engagement Sunday, April 13 at 9:30
Let All Who are Hungry Come and Eat!
Join us for a morning of family learning and engagement about Passover. We will begin the morning with T'filah (worship) in the Sanctuary. Parents will then have time for learning with workshops taught by our rabbis and community members. Students will learn with their teachers and madrichim. We will then come back together to hear from representatives of Sulzbacher Center and JFCS to learn about hunger, food insecurity and homelessness in Jacksonville. We will make sandwiches, a tangible, yet small contribution to helping all who are hungry to eat, one of the key themes of our Passover Seders. Dance Performances Students working with Paradigm Dance Flux will have 2 performances: Sundays, April 6 at 11:30 during the Holocaust Survivor's Whole School Family Engagement Program and Sunday, April 13 Whole School Family Engagement Program. |
