Kehillah had a blast at our Second Annual Purim Party<\/strong>, and we hope you did too! A massive thank you to our friends at Canon & Draw Brewing Company and Perly\u2019s Delicatessen for sponsoring this event, and to Eagle Protective Group for providing security.<\/h3>\n

We have three events planned for Passover, both in person and online. Come to our Carytown Passover Festival on Saturday, April 16 at 2810 W. Cary St., featuring Kosher-for-Passover desserts, games and giveaways, and Storytime & Song led by Rabbi Patrick and Robin Rio. This event is free entry, but you must RSVP: www.eventbrite.com\/o\/kehillah-6200085909<\/em><\/a>. Donations are encouraged to support our holiday programming: https:\/\/donorbox.org\/shabbat-and-holiday-programming.http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/o\/kehillah-6200085909<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Our festival will be followed by Seder-ish, our virtual Passover Seder, 5:30-6:30 p.m. We\u2019ll be using our Homebound Haggadah<\/em>, a Seder service that hits all your favorite Passover moments (without the long, drawn-out parts), and with a focus on spiritual ideas to help make this Passover less like a compromise and more like a moment of joy. All are welcome, interfaith and family friendly\u2014and there is no cost!<\/p>\n

Kindly RSVP through Eventbrite so we will know to expect you. You will receive the link from Rabbi Patrick after you RSVP.<\/p>\n

Passover Shabbat Seder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lastly, we will hold a special Passover Shabbat Seder at Gather Midlothian on Friday, April 22 from 6- 8:30 p.m., featuring music by Robin Rio, and Rabbi and Rebbetzin\u2019s home cooking. Manischewitz wine will be provided (feel free to BYO Kosher wine), as well as Kedem grape juice.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $36 per person and may be purchased at www.eventbrite.com\/o\/kehillah-6200085909http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/o\/kehillah-6200085909<\/a>.<\/em> There is also a $360 sponsor ticket option, which includes five guest RSVPs and supports our Seder.<\/p>\n
