Pre-Passover Chocolate Seder

Bnai Tov, the West Valley's independent synagogue, welcomes children and parents to join us for our fun-filled way to get ready for Passover and go through the steps of the Seder with our Chocolate Haggadah.  Instead of four glasses of fruit of the vine, we use four glasses of chocolate beverage.  Instead of three matzot, we use three chocolate bars.  Instead of breaking the middle matzah, we break the middle chocolate bar.  Instead of bitter herb, we have bittersweet chocolate.  Etc.  This is fun - but, it is actually quite serious too - each of our steps and symbolic items is filled with much meaning - we go around our table reading and discussing.  Interested children and parents should contact us in advance, (e-mail: Rav@BnaiTov.org).  We do need firm RSVPs to know how many will be at the seder table.  Please do not just show-up.  The seder is actually adjacent to  our office address listed here, but the precise location will be provided to those who have actually RSVPed.
