Have you ever wondered how to host a Passover seder (ritual meal), even though you never grew up attending one?
The Mothers Circle, a series of FREE programs for women of other religious backgrounds raising Jewish children within the context of intermarriage, is excited to introduce a special one-time class called Passover Seder Survival Guide-- a FREE, fun, and interactive session that will prepare parents who are new to Judaism for celebrating Passover in an enjoyable, meaningful way with their families.
Through hands-on activities and stimulating conversations, participants will explore the meaning behind each item on the seder plate; examine the seder’s written companion, the haggadah (the guide to the meal); have the opportunity to ask their own “Four Questions”; and learn the virtues of Passover food and matzah ball soup!
Participants will also discover ways to answer their children’s questions and keep them engaged at the seder, and discuss some of the intricacies of participating in—or even hosting!—a Jewish holiday celebration when you yourself are not Jewish.
Childcare and refreshments provided!
TO RSVP: Contact Hannah Morris at 212-760-1440 or at holidayhelperNNJ@gmail.com.
