Community Passover Seder: A Journey to Freedom

Ruach HaMaqom Presents
Community Passover Seder: A Journey to Freedom
Led by Rabbi Lee Moore

Reserve your spot!

Join Our Earth-Conscious Vegetarian Potluck Seder!

Experience a soul-stirring ritual where ancient wisdom meets song, story, and joy. Guided by Rabbi Lee we’ll explore dimensions of liberation and reinvigorate our commitments to end oppression.  We'll use "The Promise of the Land" Haggadah by Rabbi Ellen Bernstein, weaving together the themes of freedom and ecological connection.

Eco-Conscious Potluck Contributions (Vegetarian Only)
Please bring a dish based on the first letter of your last name:

 A-J: Bring a main dish
 K-O: Bring a dessert
 P-Z: Bring an appetizer

Earth-Honoring Dietary Guidelines:

  • Strictly vegetarian (milk, eggs, cheese allowed)

As we invite liberation from narrow places, we call in the Divine presence in all Creation. Bring family, friends, and open hearts to journey through the Red Sea together and beyond, traversing our ancient freedom songs along with contemporary visions for wholeness and justice.
