Join the Passover Seder April 5

Congregation Sholom and Passover Across America will hold its annual Passover Seder on April 5, at 5:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. Passover is a Jewish holiday that honors the freedom and exodus of the Israelites (Jewish slaves) from Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses II. Before the ancient Jews fled Egypt, their firstborn children were “passed over” and spared from death, therefore resulting in this holiday being called “Passover.”

The food will be catered by Blueberry Hill, and the Seder will be conducted by Rabbi Mike Mymon. The menu consists of a choice of mango chutney brisket, roast chicken, or a vegetarian plate, plus, matzo ball soup, Gefilte fish, salad and potatoes. In addition, the lunch will have lemonade, dessert and Passover wine. The cost is $36 per person for members and $54 for non-members.

Those who are interested in joining must RSVP to Murray Pollack by emailing murrjet@yahoo.com or calling 562-331-3949 no later than April 1.
