The Passover Seder is one of those nights that so many of us carry in our hearts — the familiar melodies that rise around the table each year, the recipes that taste better than ever this one time a year, the feeling of a table stretched just a little longer to make room for one more.
On the second night of Passover, we’ll gather for our OZ Community Seder, led by Rabbi Ariel and Cantor Silverberg. It will be an evening of conversation, music, storytelling, and some much needed joy. Together, we’ll retell the Exodus story — both because it’s tradition, and because the themes still matter: resilience, hope, and the stubborn, beautiful human longing for freedom.
And of course, we’ll gather around a truly special meal. Dinner will be prepared by Chef Richard Witting of Firefly Catering & Isole Events, with two menu options exploring traditional Passover foods from across the diaspora, and desserts by his partner, Anna Mays of Old World Baking.
More than anything, this night is about being together — around the table, in conversation, in song, in the comfort that happens within community. Whether this is your first Seder or your hundredth, you are welcome. Bring a friend. Bring your whole self. Bring your appetite.
