NCEJ Helps Fund an Inclusive Outreach Seder
This past year Temple Shalom of Manitoba received an unprecedented number of inquiries from people who wanted to learn more about Judaism. In April the congregation will be providing a Seder designed for people attending a Passover Seder for the first time. This will include new Jews by Choice and people who are exploring the possibility of becoming Jewish. The Seder will include uplifting music, contemporary readings, traditional and newer symbolic foods, games and a catered meal. The message will be that there is room for everyone at the table.
NCEJ Gives Grant for a Special Shavuot Program: “Choosing Judaism.”
Sutton Place Synagogue in New York City will be hosting an erev Shavuot program this May focused on the concept of choosing Judaism. The format of the event will be a facilitated panel of people in the congregation who have chosen Judaism, followed by a discussion. One of the goals of the panel is to provide inspiration and encouragement for audience members who might be considering or in the process of conversion. One of the discussion questions will be “what does it mean to choose Judaism in today’s world?” The evening will conclude with a dairy dinner, which will create an opportunity to build community.
