Community Corner
Passover Without Miracles Community Seder
The Tri-Valley Cultural Jews will hold a community potluck
seder on Saturday, April 19 at 5 p.m. at the Bothwell Center, 2466 8th
St. in Livermore. The
participatory seder ceremony features an English-language progressive Secular
haggadah highlighting the power of community and the value of freedom. Led by Secular Rabbi Judith Seid,
author of God-Optional Judaism, the
seder provides a Humanistic interpretation of the Passover story, incorporating
the history of other communities in their struggles for freedom and
self-determination. The haggadah
includes traditional Passover songs as well as freedom songs from the Civil
Rights movement and Yiddish songs of resistance. Reservations are
required. To reserve a space and
choose a potluck assignment, please call (510) 888-1404 or e-mail
Reservations@EastBayCulturalJews.org.
Food need not be kosher for Passover. There is a requested donation of $15/adult (over 13)
non-members of TVCJ. Children are
welcome. TVCJ is collecting canned
and boxed food for the food bank at the event.
