Monday, April 14, 6pm 13th Annual Freedom Seder with Rabbi Arthur Waskow “In every generation, Pharaoh; in every generation, freedom” -- says the Passover Haggadah. The story of Pharaoh and Exodus is one of the most powerful and insightful stories we have about the disasters of unaccountable top-down power and in its stead, the creation of freedom and community. This year, in our society and in our souls -- what Pharaohs are forcing us into a Tight and Narrow Place, and how do we free ourselves? ”In an evening of delightful song, delicious food, and deepening thought, we will explore these questions. Rabbi Arthur Waskow is founder and director of The Shalom Center, which brings Jewish and other spiritual thought and practice to bear on seeking peace, pursuing justice, healing the earth, and celebrating community. Named a Wisdom Keeper by the United Nations in 1996, Waskow was named one of the 50 most influential American rabbis by Newsweek magazine in 2007. He created The Freedom Seder in 1969, the first Haggadah for Passover to intertwine the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery with the modern liberation struggles not only of the Jewish people, but also the Black community in America and other peoples. ***** $38 includes service, three course dinner, glass of wine, tax & gratuity ($30 for Senior citizens (65+) and full time students-with advance notification.)
