SUMMARY:Home Hosted Seders
DESCRIPTION:Join Mishkan for our second annual Home Hosted Seders! This year\, we’re doing it potluck style\, so while the hosts will handle ritual items and a main course\, please be prepared to bring a (Chametz-free) side\, salad\, or dessert. Read on for more info about what Seders are happening. \n\nGold Coast (Second Dinner) – Hosted by Elisa Harris and Ivo Daalder on the second night (Thursday\, April 2)\, this adults-only Seder will start a bit later and cover the Hagadah highlights in English. This Seder is accessible\, but note that there is a puppy!\nHyde Park – Hosted by Judith Miller on the first night (Wednesday\, April 1)\, this kid-friendly Seder is discussion heavy (as much as can be while being kid-friendly) with delicious food.\nLincoln Square – Hosted by Elaine Vozar and George Cederquist on the second night (Thursday\, April 2)\, they’re doing it again in a Seder filled with song and story. This one is friendly to kids\, teens\, and vegetarians.\nWicker Park – Hosted by Miriam Klevan on the second night (Thursday\, April 2)\, this adult only (older teens welcome) Seder is interactive with a nice blend of Hebrew and English. Three dogs\, and she’ll make sure there’s gluten-free Matzvah.\nSheldon (Farm Seder!) – Hosted by Lexi Weintraub and the lovely people at Zumwalt Acres on the third night (Friday\, April 3) join for a ritual and political Seder on a farm! A note from the hosts: Our community is primarily made up of queer farmers in our mid-twenties\, and we welcome everyone who is excited to join us in song\, prayer\, ritual\, and conversation from the heart. Because we’re about 2 hours from the city\, you’re welcome to spend the night in a bunk bed in our house or a bed in a canvas tent. Feel free to reach out to zumwaltacres@gmail.com if you have questions before signing up.\n\nWe’re also running a waitlist this year\, so if your desired Seder is full\, please select that option and tell us what you’re looking for! \nClick here for more info and to register
