Seder Dinner 2018

Passover is the great Jewish feast of redemption and liberation, the memorial of the Israelites’ deliverance from their bondage in Egypt. The word Passover means “deliverance,” since in the story of the Exodus Yahweh “passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt” (Ex. 12:27). Passover is a festival of great rejoicing, which reveals how God “led us from captivity to freedom, from sadness to joy, from mourning to feasting, from servitude to redemption, from darkness to brilliant light.” 

In the Christian tradition the Passover Seder is also believed to be when Jesus instituted the Eucharist. Gathered around the supper table with his disciples, Jesus told them, “I have longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

Join us on Wednesday March 28 at 6pm as Dr Doug Spaner leads us through the traditional ritual of the Seder meal. This will followed by a full meal that would be typically enjoyed in a Jewish home complete with Matzo ball soup, gefilte fish as well as beef brisket and dessert.
