The following press release was issued by the Bristol Interfaith Coalition:
Members of the greater Bristol community are invited to a Seder hosted by the Bristol Interfaith Coalition. The modified Seder meal will be led by Jewish members and their families of the coalition. There is no charge for participating but pre-registration is required. A Zoom link and printable materials will be sent out to registrants several days prior to the event.
“Seder” means order and the Passover Seder is a meal which is organized with a specific structure. It contains many rituals and foods which have special meanings. The meal is accompanied by the reading of the “Haggadah”, the story of the exodus of the Jewish people which was led by Moses.
The April 21st event will include some of the rituals and will include instructions for those who want to participate at home. Although this version will not include a meal, some of the many foods included in a traditional seder will be described and participants will be given a list of some foods to have on hand if they choose to eat them at home. A shortened version of the Haggadah will be read, with time allotted at the end for questions.
The Bristol Interfaith Coalition is in its fifth year of organizing events to enhance interfaith understanding, dialogue and friendships. They have helped in planning Interfaith Thanksgiving Services, hosted two Taste of Ramadan events and participated in three annual United Nations Interfaith Harmony week events.
