Passover 2024 is quickly approaching, and for those who are late to the game, there’s still time to find a community Seder.
The Seder is the annual retelling of the Jews’ liberation from Egypt as recounted in the biblical Book of Exodus. A key element of the retelling is sharing the story around a table, with family, friends, or for those newly arrived in Florida, community. A community Seder introduces participants to a new group of people with similar interests, including not only religion but food and enthusiasm for life in Florida.
If you’re looking for a Seder, check out these public offerings, and make sure to reach out to them soon. Deadlines are approaching, and the sponsors need to order food and set the right number of places at the table. Community Seders are a great way to observe the holiday, and a delicious meal of Jewish comfort foods is guaranteed.
