Next Mishpacha Session: Sunday, April 13th
Please join us this Sunday for a Tikkun Olam (repairing the world, social action) fair. We will learn about a number of relevant issues, what Judaism says about them, and how we can help.

Seder in the Wilderness

Enjoy the Saturday morning adult and teen spirituality hike with guide Rabbi Mike Comins. Relive the exodus from Egypt at 4:30 pm, followed by a delicious Persian barbecue dinner. Make havdalah and sing folk songs around the campfire on Saturday night. Of course, you brave few can camp out Friday and/or Saturday nights. Click here for more Seder in the Wilderness Photos. Friday-Sunday, April 25-27, 2008.
