Erev Rosh Hashanah - Rosh Hashanah Seder

Join us for a fun and engaging celebration to welcome Rosh Hashanah. The Rosh Hashanah Seder is a family-friendly engaging ritual which originated 2000 years ago from a Sephardic tradition. Please note the 6:00 PM start time as it is intended to conclude prior to your holiday dinner. We will be reciting the blessings over candles, wine, challah, dates, apples & honey, pomegranates and the shofar - and mentioning a few other symbols of this celebration. If you have those items -- great. If not, no worries. At the Seder I will be explaining the origin of some of these traditions (some ancient and some new) and the history of the Rosh Hashanah Seder.

- Everyone must wear a mask covering their nose and mouth for the duration of the service
- Wash/sanitize hands frequently
- Social distancing (6 feet minimum)

- Bathrooms WILL be open, but please "go before you go" to minimize use
- Prayer books have not been touched in months, so are OK to share
- Please bring your own chair and observe the seating areas designated on the lawn
