A full Jewish seder, including prayer, active participation and reading, prayers in both hebrew and English. Please note this is a Jewish Religious Ceremony. There will be videos shown for some songs to keep it light and fun.
We will be using the The Family Haggadah by Ellen Schecter which we will have a copy for each table to use.
A vegan Seder plate provided per table. Wine or grape juice served for ceremony. There will be maror and charoset.
Please note: We will be using an alternative to Matzah as there is not a vegan and Gluten-free matzah. It will be an unleavened cracker.
This will not be run by a religious leader but how it is run casually at home with your family. There will be homemade Charoset, Homemade Horse radish.
You should bring: A pillow for lounging, an afikomen bag so you can take you afikomen home to hide.
Participation: Generally we alternate reading the English paragraph with everyone there. Also, Please email me if you can read Hebrew and can participate in the Hebrew prayers and readings. Also- if you would like to participate in the Hebrew for the 4 questions. We will integrate some songs and mini videos throughout to create a deeper connection to what is being said. There are some portions that are read and then everyone responds.
