Join Rabbi Steven Morgen and Reverend Johnie Jones, Executive Director of Bread of Life, and their families for a Passover seder and discussion and celebration of themes of freedom from the Jewish and African American perspectives.  The seder will be followed by a Zoom discussion and Q&A.  Reverend Jones joined us in November 2020 for an interfaith discussion on the parable of the Good Samaritan and we are excited to have him join us again!  

Open to the community!

As we expect many non-Beth Yeshurun members to join us, we ask you to register directly in Zoom.
