Making This Night Different: Preparing for Passover

  • Metivta: A Center for Contemplative Judaism 11150 West Olympic Blvd. Suite 915 Los Angeles, CA 90064 (map)

Join Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone as we prepare for Passover

Sunday, April 10 1—3pm Pacific online via zoom

During this afternoon workshop, we will bring new life to our Passover Seders by exploring three Passover traditions, not as relics of the past, but as nuggets of living wisdom. We will dive into the mystical meaning of the Seder plate, and experience the truth that we are living the journey right now.

We will explore new ways to implement the Ha Lachma Anya declaration, welcoming in Elijah the Prophet. Gems from the Chasidic Masters, modern poetry, and the brilliance of community sharing will help us illuminate and inspire Passover this year. We will travel back in time and space to be with our ancestors, and they will accompany us on our part of the journey.

This event will be held online via Zoom. Advance registration required. Meeting links will be sent to registrants shortly before the retreat begins. Phone in options available.
