How-to-Haggadah Workshop
March 31, 7:00 pm
There are a few thousand different Haggadot in the world — so why reinvent the wheel? Because every year our table changes: we welcome new people; we age and grow; we reflect differently upon the world around us and the resonances of the Passover story for the changing landscape in the news at home and abroad. How do you host an engaging Seder that meets your changing needs? This interactive workshop will address strategies to engage children and to lead a more meaningful discussion with the teens and adults at your table. We’ll also look at recent Haggadot featuring art and literature on Seder themes and briefly show you how to update your own Haggadah with tools like Haggadot.com.

Coping with the new rules for Covid – Will you be coming to Seder?
April 6, 7:30 pm
As official government restrictions lift, many of us still have many questions and concerns. How do I navigate the changing landscape? How can I be an advocate for my own health? How can I safely protect my unvaccinated children or aging/immune compromised parents? If the last 2 years have taught us anything, it’s that the answers to these questions, and a host of others, are not black and white, and they evoke different feelings in different people.
This webinar is sponsored by the Luke Sklar Mental Health Initiative working committee members
