A Message From Cantor Porat

In these tumultuous and ever-changing times, Passover serves as a powerful reminder of the search for liberation that resides within each of us. Despite the challenges we face, we’re encouraged to embrace resilience and find strength in the knowledge that our spirit of freedom cannot be diminished or contained.
 
The song Liberation, written by Cantor Rebekah Mirsky and I, was inspired by the enduring instruction of Passover to recognize our release from the bonds of slavery in Egypt with each passing generation. 
 
As you listen, consider contemplating the freedoms you hold dear and if you’re so moved, please share your reflections and stories with me via email. We will share some of your reflections during our second night family seder.
 
May it be a liberating and meaningful Passover season to all of us,
 
Cantor Juval Porat
Spice Up Your Seder

April 16
6:00-7:30 pm

Whether you are a first time seder host or a diehard Maxwell House user, you can always find a new way to bring modern topics, games, or deep discussion to the seder experience. During this session we will review some of the major components of the haggadah and put our brains together to create new modes for our guests to engage more deeply in the seder.

Not hosting this year? Don’t worry! Join in to learn more about the seder and how to add to the experience as a participant. Rabbi Jacobs will also share some of her favorite haggadot and one-pager haggadah supplements that can be added to any seder or haggadah. Register Here
