Dear Congregational Family,

"A Seder Made To Order"

Yesterday afternoon, we added a unique preparation for Passover link on our shul website page under "Rabbinical information for Pesach."

Given the fact that many of us will not be with usual large gatherings this year, we may find ourselves leading a Seder for the first time. This can be an overwhelming challenge. The Rabbinical Assembly, the international organization of Conservative Rabbis, has prepared a unique youtube for this year entitled, "A Seder Made To Order." In this two hour video, Conservative rabbis from around the world explain and demonstrate how to conduct a Passover Seder from beginning to end with meaningful explanations. Even a seasoned family leader will find new insights.

I encourage everyone to take a couple of hours between now and Yom Tov to sit as a student in front of this video with your own personal Haggadah and notebook in hand. Many of us have lots of time on our hands to prepare for a meaningful telling of the Haggadah.

As we read early in the text, "The more one tells and discusses the Exodus from Egypt, behold how praiseworthy it is."

I wish everyone a zisen pesach - Chag Kasher V'Sameach.

Rabbi Howard Morrison
