On Sunday, April 2, Rabbi Enid Lader of Beth Israel – the West Temple in Lakewood is coming to celebrate a Seder Meal at our parish. We are all invited to attend and join in the ancient Jewish tradition and discover our common roots. Dinner is included for this free event, but advance registration is required, as space is limited to 125 people in our Xavier Room. The event begins at 1:30 p.m. and will last about 2 hours.

Christians, whose traditions are rooted in Judaism, share the Passover experience of a people enslaved and then redeemed when God brought them to freedom, to convenant, to a Promised Land. Through the centuries, the ritual of the Passover has allowed each generation of Jews to relive their history and make the story its own. Through the ritual of the Haggadah we will follow, Jews and Christians can remember and share the momentous events of God’s call and redemption: the story of Passover. (Adapted from “The Passover Celebration” by Rabbi Leon Klenicki and Myra Cohen Klenicki, with the participation of the Archdiocese of Chicago.)
