Community Hunger Second Seder
March 26, 2013
A unique community second night of Passover Seder experience will be offered on Tuesday, March 26 at Congregation Beth Shalom (14200 Lamar) beginning at 6:30 p.m. The Seder is an opportunity for family and friends to come together as a community for the telling of the Passover story – to reflect on our past and look forward to a future of freedom for all people.
This year’s Seder experience will be dedicated to hunger awareness and activism and include traditions and customs of the Passover Seder. Using a special Haggadah from MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger, we will retell the story of our people’s journey from slavery to freedom with story, song and interactive discussion. Special activities for children ages 4-9 will be available during a portion of the Seder in another area of the building.
The Seder will be led by Rabbis Doug Alpert, David Glickman, Arthur Nemitoff, Alexandria Shuval-Weiner, Scott White and Cantor Sharon Kohn. A traditional kosher-for-Passover Seder meal will be prepared under supervision of the Vaad Hakashrut of Kansas City and served under the supervision of Rabbi David Glickman, Congregation Beth Shalom.
The community Seder is sponsored by the Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City, Jewish Family Services, the Hy and Bella Vile Legacy Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater KC and supported by Congregations.
Advance reservations are mandatory and must be received by Monday, March 18; fees increase after that date. In the spirit of the Seder, we encourage all to contribute 3% of their meal cost to MAZON, a national nonprofit organization working to end hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds in the United States and Israel. Every 3% donation will be matched locally.
Registration forms are available on line below and at area congregations. For information or to inquire about confidential financial assistance, contact Annette Fish, Administrator/Program Director, Rabbinical Association by email, afprogram@aol.com or call 913-327-4622.
