Or Haneshamah is hosting two Passover seders, which will run concurrently at the Unitarian campus, 30 Cleary Ave.

• An immersive, leisurely seder led by Rabbi Liz Bolton. Dig into the perennial yet relevant questions around freedom, liberation, and identity. Engage the ritual practices and texts, imbued with contemporary resonance.
Both seders are potluck events with chicken, fish and vegetarian food welcome on the table. OrH will supply table dressings, gefilte fish, matzot, haroset, non-alcoholic drinks, coffee, tea and wine.
Cost: $30 for adults, $15 for children under 13 (free for those under 4). No one will be turned away due to financial constraints; to discuss, contact info@orh.ca.
