Lilith Seder
Women’s Seder sponsored by the Sisterhood of East End Temple (in person)
Thursday, April 17, 2025 at 6:00pm
~ Open to Sisterhood members, plus one guest (ages 13 and older) ~
Our annual Lilith Seder is for women about women, from Miriam to our modern day women of valor. Everyone participates in reading from a Haggadah written especially for us, focused on the women in the Passover story, praying in feminized Hebrew. We sing songs and dance with tambourines, honor women of valor, use a Miriam’s Cup for water and place a symbolic orange on the seder plate.
— Pre-registration is required: Click here to register, indicating whether you will join in person or on Zoom. Indicate name(s) of participants.
If attending in person, space is limited so please reserve as soon as possible and indicate your contributions to the potluck dinner or seder items. If you are not a current Sisterhood member, we welcome you to join or renew for a minimum contribution of $36 for the 2024-2025 membership year. For further information, please email sisterhood@eastendtemple.org. Dues help to support the many programs we offer and funding for gifts and projects which benefit the EET community.
This is a potluck dinner. You may bring a main dish, side dish, or dessert, or a contribution to the ceremonial seder. We are “Passover Kosher Style” and will welcome meat, chicken and fish, but no pork, shellfish or dairy. Noodles and grains should be kosher for Passover. We will confirm your contribution and ensure we have a good mix of dishes.
For any questions, email sisterhood@eastendtemple.org.
