Women's Freedom Seder
Tuesday, April 9, 2019 • 6 pm at Temple Israel
Led by Temple Israel Clergy and Sisterhood Members
Our Passover Seder explores the ancient story of the Israelites exodus from slavery in Egypt. Its message of freedom speaks to people of all faiths. Most importantly, the seder acknowledges that in many ways, we are still not free. Each year, we have chosen a theme to explore along these lines.
This year, we hope you will join us for a thought-provoking exploration of how so many of our brothers and sisters are slaves to opioid addiction. We will hear from an expert in the field of addiction and recovery, a personal account, and move through the seder holding onto the hope that just as our ancestors journeyed from slavery to freedom, those struggling today, we pray, will also make their way to freedom from the affliction of addiction.
Open to the community • $25 per person • RSVP by April 3rd
