Initiating a new Seder service in Chu Family Hall is generating wonderful excitement! The prospect of utilizing the space uniquely, fostering community, and sharing the meaningful Passover story is inspiring. While initial logistical concerns arose, enthusiastic volunteer support has blossomed into a vibrant collaboration involving congregants and the Neighboring Faiths class. To ensure this special and lasting tradition flourishes, we welcome additional helping hands for setup, meal prep, cleanup, and donations. All are warmly invited to participate in the enriching service and celebratory meal.
