The Stories of Seders, Planning a Seder of Stories with Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg

A seder is a ritual of storytelling: the Exodus story, overlaid and interwoven with stories of our lives and times. How do we meaningfully engage with the Exodus story year after year, and discern what stories from this year are ours to tell? How do we craft a seder ritual that not only tells stories, but shows and feels our stories, and practices, living into transformative stories? Join Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg for an interactive workshop to reflect on Maggid, on story, and prepare for Pesach. Register here.

NOTE: This will be a two hour session, with 90 minutes of presentation and discussion, and the last 30 minutes for a Q&A about seder planning and leading questions. If you are leading a seder for the 1st or 100th time, looking for a charoset recipe or a salt water themed poem, join us!
