Community Invited To 11th Annual Passover Seder At Heritage Resort
SOUTHBURY â Chabad Lubavitch of Northwest Connecticut invites the public to celebrate Passover with family and friends at the Eleventh Annual Northwest Connecticut Community Seder, to be held at Heritage Resort, 522 Heritage Road. Seder will be held on Monday and Tuesday, April 2 and 3, beginning at 7:30 each evening.
Passover is the festival that commemorates the liberation of the Jews from Egypt. Every year, on the first two nights of the Passover holiday (which lasts for eight days), it is customary to conduct a Seder.
Rabbi Joseph Eisenbach will direct the Seder, reading from and expounding upon the Haggadah, the book that tells the tale of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. Everyone present will be encouraged to read different verses. There will be singing and a gala five-course holiday meal will be served.
Matzah is the traditional wafer eaten by Jews during Passover, symbolic of the bread that had no time to rise as the Jews hurried to leave Egypt 2,000 years ago. Handmade Matzahs will be offered during the Seder.
The cost is $36 for adults (per night), $25 for senior citizens, and $18 for children ages 4â12; children age 3 and under will be welcomed free of charge.
Reservations can be made online at chabadnw.org/seder or by calling 800-297-6864.
