Every Seder meal begins with the words, “Let all who are hungry come and eat, let all who are in need come and share our Passover meal.” It extends the mitzvah (commandment) of tzedakah (charity) from gifts to physical presence, from giving of our money and possessions to giving of ourselves.
As Passover is traditionally a holy day to be celebrated in the home with family, friends, and strangers, this year Congregation Micah will not be having its Community-Wide Seder. Instead, we are turning back to tradition and encouraging our families to gather around each others’ tables. So how will this continue to be a community event? We are taking the approach of “Have a Seder? Need a Seder?”
Are you planning to host a Seder meal at your home? Or were you hoping to attend a traditional Seder as a guest?
Answer these questions, and then call the Micah office and let us know if you are:
- Willing to host someone at your Seder meal?!
Please let us know how many you can host and if you would prefer to host a Micah member or anyone from the community-at-large. - In need of a place to go?!
We will work with you to find a family that is opening their Seder meal to others.
Nonmembers will be charged an $18 fee
