Passover Seder & Dinner

Compassion starts in the kitchen

Thursday April 11, 2025: Passover

6:30pm seating. very limited seating. (Plan on at least 4 hours)

$120 per person

A full Jewish seder, including prayer, active participation and reading, prayers in both hebrew and English. Please note this is a Jewish Religious Ceremony. There will be videos shown for some songs to keep it light and fun. WE love when folks that are both Jewish and non-Jewish attend. It is a fun interesting night.

We will be using the The Family Haggadah by Ellen Schecter which we will have a copy for each table to use.

A vegan Seder plate provided per table. Wine or grape juice served for ceremony. There will be maror and charoset.

Please note: We will be using an alternative to Matzah as there is not a vegan and Gluten-free matzah. It will be an unleavened cracker.

The meal is vegan and GF but includes soy and not fully kosher for passover as we use rice, soy, and veggies that for some may not be considered Kosher for passover. please email us what items you avoid for Passover and we will do our best to accommodate.

This will not be run by a religious leader but how it is run casually at home with your family.

You should bring: A pillow for lounging.

Participation: Generally we alternate reading the English paragraph with everyone there. Also, Please email me if you can read Hebrew and can participate in the Hebrew prayers and readings. Also- if you would like to participate in the Hebrew for the 4 questions. We will integrate some songs and mini videos throughout to create a deeper connection to what is being said. There are some portions that are read and then everyone responds.
