The Seder will be held in English. For the Hebrew Women's Seder on March 27, click here.
This year's topic is "Choice."
The story of the exodus from Egypt is a story about freedom.
The women's Seder ritual creates an opportunity to infuse the Passover narrative with a woman's voice and experience.
Join us for a warm evening of sharing, singing and reading inspirational words and stories. We will celebrate the Passover traditions from a feminist perspective, and think about ways to increase freedom in our world.
A vegetarian kosher-style dinner will be served.

סיפור יציאת מצריים הוא סיפור על חירות.
סדר נשים הוא הזדמנות עבורינו ליצוק בתוך סיפור הפסח את הקול והחוויה שלנו, הנשים.
מוזמנות בחום לערב שכולו קהילה, חיבור, שיתוף, שירה ושאיבת השראה ממילים של נשים חכמות . נציין את מסורות הפסח מנקודת מבט פמיניסטית, ונשוחח על הדרך בה גם אנו יכולות להגדיל את החופש עבור נשים בעולם.
