Some Passover Suggestions
Whether taking a seat at CBST's virtual table, or opening the Haggadah with those who share your home, get an introduction and some advice about the order of events
here
.
Discover the classic symbolism of the items on our seder plates (or their creative alternatives!) and consider the addition of a symbol that represents a contemporary struggle for social justice equity.
Starting Monday, April 6, at 10 am, CBST's Aggadah Actors will release daily video clips for children with activities and challenges designed for ages 2-7, their grownups and families to bring the Passover story to life. Although we can't gather in person, we'll bring the theater experience to your home with new interactive content on Wednesday, April 8th --

CBST Community Chorus Passover Songs
We'd like to share
an excerpt from our 2016 Shabbat Shirah concert
entitled
Min Hametzar
. The text is from Psalm 118: 5-25, and the music is written by French opera composer, Jacques Fromenthal Halevy (1799-1862). Sung by the CBST Community Chorus, Joyce Rosenzweig, conductor, with soloists Marc Molomot and Sam Rosen. It begins by crying out to God from the depths of despair, then acknowledges God's power and strength (
Ozi V'zimrat Yah)
, offers gratitude and thanksgiving, and finally declares, "This is the day that God has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it."
