Both Seders are free event.

To prepare for the Seder, if you can, gather the following items together.

1. Three pieces of Matzah on a plate, covered with a napkin

2. Wine or grape juice

3. A bowl of salt water

4. A Seder plate — The objects on the Seder plate include:

  1. A roasted egg
  2. Maror (Bitter Herbs): Horseradish and/or Romain lettuce
  3. Charoset (mixture of fruit and nuts): Common recipe — a mixture of chopped apple, chopped walnuts, honey, and wine. Represents the mortar the Israelites used in making bricks
  4. Karpas (Spring Vegetable): parsley, celery, boiled potato, or raw onion
  5. Zeroa (Shank bone) a bone representing the sacrifice we made on Passover when the Temple still stood. Some vegetarians use a beet) 

If you can’t get these items, don’t worry, Eric, who will be leading the Seder, will have them, and will be using them ceremonially in the Seder. 

You can use whatever Haggadah you have at home or you can download Rabbinical Assembly’s Passover Haggadah: Feast of Freedom, by clicking  here. 

We hope to see you at both Seders.
