Beth Menachem Chabad Announces Community Passover Seder
"Relive the Passover Exodus" with Rabbi Prus
[Newton, MA] — Few Jewish holidays evoke the same warm sentiments as Passover. Memories of family and friends gathered as the four cups of wine are poured, the four questions asked and the Matzah served, all contribute to Passover’s popularity in the Jewish community. Bringing the warmth and tradition of this festival to the Newton Community, Beth Menachem Chabad is inviting all residents to participate in community Seders to be held on Monday night, April 10, and again on Tuesday night, April 11
The Seders take participants through the wondrous liberation of our ancestors from Egyptian bondage, while sharing the relevance and beauty of the age old festival in our modern lives. Included in the Seder will be a complete four coure traditional Passover dinner paired with a variety of wines and handmade round 'Shmurah' Matzah from Israel.
“Passover is not simply a celebration of the historic liberation of an ancient people,” said Rabbi Shalom Ber Prus of Beth Menachem, Chabad. “Passover is about our own personal liberation – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Passover inspires us to break free from the shackles restraining us from reaching new heights - in our lives, relationships and connection with G-d.”
