Affirmations Faith Alliance will host the first annual Passover Seder at Affirmations on Sunday, April 27 at 4 – 7 p.m. The Seder includes a full dinner and the cost per person is $25.
The gathering will celebrate the Passover, the exodus from slavery to freedom, from Mitzriyam/narrowness to The Promised Land.

"Passover is a celebration of spring, of birth and rebirth, of a journey from slavery to freedom, and of taking responsibility for yourself, the community, and the world. However, strangely enough, none of this taking of responsibility gets done without groaning. It was with groaning that the Hebrews expressed the pain of their ancient enslavement in Egypt more than 3,300 years ago. It was with groaning that they called attention to their plight. So groan, already," say Rabbi Ted Falcon and David Blatner.
Affirmations Faith Alliance works to advance the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender people and to transform faith communities and the wider society by taking a leading role in shaping a new public discourse on religion and sexuality through education, research, community building and advocacy.
