Shvues Assembly
2020-05-28 19:00 - 19:30 | On-line, Everywhere, on the Internet, CA, United States
The story of Shvues/Shavuot, taken from the Biblical book of Ruth, is one of the most important for Sholem families.
It is a story of human kindness and inclusion, bridging cultural boundaries with love, just like many of our own families. It is also the story of an immigrant joining and enriching a community.
You are invited to join us this Thursday from 7:00-7:30 (Pacific Standard Time), the first of night of Shvues/Shavuot, for songs, stories, some words of wisdom, and connection in these increasingly disconnected times.
To RSVP and receive a Zoom link, please send an email to ross@sholem.org

Sholem’s in-person annual model Seder was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we are not lost in the wilderness! Sholem will host a communal secular seder on the second night of Passover We will come together on Zoom.

All are welcome for this non-religious, cultural celebration of Passover, that acknowledges the holiday’s origins as a spring festival and honors the story of Exodus as a symbolic tale of freedom. Our digital gathering will feature readings from Sholem’s Family Hagada, singing & music, an opportunity to share your at-home seder plate, as well as time for the kids at your home to go on an afikoman hunt!

RSVP and we will send you information for logging in to the online Seder, and a free PDF of our secular Hagada.

Participation is FREE but donations are welcome. Passover is a vital time for the fundraising efforts that keep our secular Jewish ship afloat. We suggest $10-20 per individual/family. Donate here.

If you can’t join us, but still want a PDF of the Sholem Hagada – perhaps for your in person seder with your Safer-at-Home companion/s – it is available here for $5.

There is a maximum number of participants allowed in this Zoom meetup, so RSVP now to ensure your space, receive the login information, and get your digital Hagada.

For more info, contact Regan Kibbee: regan@sholem.org or 310-399-2259.
