Passover 2022

Dear Temple Family,

This year for Passover, The Temple is excited to announce a hybrid celebration! We will host four different Seders to attend either in person or virtually AND the option to pick up a Passover meal by Chef Z, with a new Haggadah featuring artwork from our members.

  1. Four Seder options:
  • Annual First Night Seder – Friday, April 15 at 6:00 pm
  • Congregational Passover Seder led by our Confirmation Class – Saturday, April 16 at 6:00 pm
  • Young Adult Seder – Monday, April 18 at 6:00 pm
  • Annual Gaylia R. Rooks Women’s Seder led by the WRJ/Sisterhood- Thursday, April 21 at 6:00 pm

In-person attendance will require vaccination (unless under 5) and be limited to one family per table (unless two or more households mutually want to sit together).

Please sign up below!

2. Whether celebrating at home or at The Temple, you can order a Passover meal made by the amazing Chef Z. This year’s Passover menu offers the following options:

  • Tender beef brisket topped with a savory gravy
  • Marinated grilled chicken breast piccata
  • Chef Z’s famous vegetable frittata

All meals include matzo ball soup, a mixed green salad, roasted root vegetables, and chocolate mousse for dessert.

The regular price per meal for Temple members is $20 and $25 for non-Temple members. HALF PRICE member meals for $10 will be available for the first 200 meal orders and all members attending an in-person Seder. If you are picking up a meal, you can also order a Seder Plate for $10. Order today and for information and dates about meal pickup.

3. The Temple will also provide a beautiful Haggadah featuring artwork from our members for those attending our First Night Seder. Starting in March, the Haggadah will be available (1) online (put link here) or (2) by request at the Front Desk for you to pick up, and (3) for out-of-town members by mail.

We are thrilled to offer so many different Passover options this year. If you have questions, please contact Santa at (502) 212-2028.

Wishing everyone a joyful and meaningful Passover,

Your Temple Team

Happy Passover Y’all!

Passover night should be the best show in town. We should drive the kids and everyone attending the Seder crazy, so that they ask – why, “MA NISHETANA” – what is it that has changed?

At this night we have a very special duty, to find creative ways to explain the meaning of this holiday and the meaning of who we are and what we ought to be as a people. In the Torah, we are told 36 times to remember that we were slaves / strangers in Egypt so we must, says the Torah time and again, be kind to the stranger in our midst, treat them as we want people to treat us. This is because, as our sages say, in each generation must we feel as we ourselves were there, in Egypt, and were saved. In essence, this holiday makes us experience it ourselves.
