Sessions

'Why is this event different from all other events? An evening of pre-Pesach learning" 
Thursday 3 April, from 7.30pm
Sessions including:

Dining with Difference, with Rabbi Howard Cooper- a facilitated discussion for thinking about how to be at the Seder with family and friends who have very different opinions, without falling out with each other. 
This year in Jerusalem, with Rabbi Deborah Blausten- explore new writing and ideas that you can bring to your Seder this year, creating a dialogue between our traditional texts and today’s world. This session will look especially at writing from Israel since October 7th as well as texts from Ukrainian Jewish communities.
