To sign up for a dish to bring, please click here Dear Community,
Once again we are planning our bi-annual Women’s Passover Seder for March 28, We feel that in our country, now, more than ever, with so much hurt and threat and division, it is important to gather in solidarity – not to politicize, but rather to remember from whence we’ve come and how me must celebrate and support others on the same path. As you know, our kitchen is in the final stage of complete reconstruction, and it will be beautiful. But it would be risky to depend upon its completion by March 28. So, we are framing this seder as an “invitational dinner,” which translates into bring a dish. If you prefer not to bring food, we will be happy to accept a donation of $20 to be used as a fill in. To help you and us co-ordinate the menu, we are using a very user-friendly website Jane Kunstler has set up for us. Visit Perfect Potluck.com to walk through the suggested dinner options and register what you’ll bring. Please respond by March 23. If you have any question, call Barbara at 516 671 9571. Feel free to invite your friends, family, spouse and neighbors. To borrow a phrase, together we will make it great, again. Our best, Deborah Globus and Barbara Heller

ADULT ED with RABBI ELISA Sunday, March 12 at 10 am (Daylight Savings Time) We Were Strangers in a Strange Land: Jewish Views on Immigration and Refugees As Jews we understand the experience of being strangers in a strange land. Beginning with the Exodus from Egypt until the present day, we have been a people on the move - sometimes fleeing persecution, sometimes following opportunity. In this session, we'll explore Judaism's rich tradition of welcoming the stranger, as well as the impact of immigration on Jewish self-understanding. Through classic & modern texts, we'll identify the key values underlying Jewish teachings & explore the mandate & limitations of the mitzvah to welcome the stranger. As we begin to turn our hearts toward Passover, we will also share some ways to lift up the story of refugees in our seders.
Come for (not even close to) the whole Megillah, and stay for supper and karaoke!!
