Each year, New Unity celebrates freedom at Passover with a communal Seder meal. The Seder is the traditional Jewish celebration for Passover - a holiday marking the tragedy of slavery, celebrating the joy of liberation, and committing to work for freedom for all people. In New Unity’s celebration, freedom is considered in a universal sense, extending our concerns and commitments to all who are not free, either physically, in thought, or in spirit.
The Passover seder takes place this year as most of us find ourselves needing to stay home, isolated. And still, community can grow and strengthen as we find ways to connect in other ways - especially in virtual spaces. All are welcome to this Seder, whether or not you have any connection to the New Unity. You do not need to be Jewish or non-religious. You do not need to be in London or the UK. Whoever you are, you are invited to this virtual Seder table.
The Seder itself is a wonderful event that is based around the retelling of an ancient story and recognising how freedom is relevant to us today. The Seder includes the eating of symbolic foods, drinking wine or grape juice, speaking and singing.
This event is free, but any and all donations are very welcome. In order to attend, please register over at Eventbrite.
