Connect to Every Voice: Kol Kol Seder of Inclusion for Every Voice

Sunday, March 21, 3:00pm    

The pandemic has made each of us feel marginalized and isolated in a variety of ways. Feed your soul with us on Sunday, March 21 from 3:00-5:00pm, as we commemorate the Israelites’ journey from slavery to freedom, and in the same moment free ourselves from isolation, and be acknowledged and heard in our connection to each other, to our community and to the Jewish people. All WJC friends and family are welcome!

Join WJC Teens for a scavenger hunt – find the hametz before Passover comes! This activity will be inside at WJC, masked & socially-distanced. 

 

Hametz Roast and Marshmallow Toast! Eat Marshmallows and Do a Mitzvah
Friday, March 26 at 9:30am
WJC Parking Lot

The Torah informs us that hametz (leavened products) should not be eaten, seen, or even located in one’s house during the festival of Passover. Therefore, people go to great lengths and often create games to search the nooks and crannies to remove yeast products from their homes and burn them the morning before the holiday begins. This symbolizes cleaning out our minds and hearts, removing negative forces for renewal.

This year, as we prepare a little early, bring your gathered leftovers to WJC and we will burn our hametz together in the parking lot. We will supply the marshmallows to toast and eat as we watch our hametz burn!
