Vallarta Jewish Community Passover Seder
 PVNN
| | Table set for the beginning of the Passover Seder, including Passover Seder Plate (front center), salt water, three shmurah matzot (rear center), and bottles of kosher wine. A Hebrew language Haggadah sits beside each place setting. |
The Passover Seder is a special Jewish ritual which takes place on the first evening of the Jewish holiday of Passover in Israel, and on the first and second evenings of Passover in the Jewish diaspora.
In 2007, these dates correspond to Monday night April 2 and Tuesday night April 3. Incorporating the holiday meal, the Seder relives the enslavement and subsequent Exodus of the Children of Israel from Ancient Egypt through the words of the Haggadah, the drinking of Four Cups of Wine, the eating of matzot, and the eating of and reference to symbolic foods placed on the Passover Seder Plate.
Unlike other public holiday observances that are traditionally held in the synagogue, the Seder is specifically designed to be conducted by a family at home, or by any group of people, including synagogue members, hotel guests and travelers at a "Public Seder."
Here in Puerto Vallarta, the PVJC will be hosting a Passover Seder dinner on April 2nd at 7 pm - and you and your family and friends are invited. It will be held at El Set, on the road towards Mismaloya. A long standing favorite for sunset dining, every taxi and bus driver knows the location of this restaurant.
Sundown will be around 8 pm, so please try to be at the restaurant by 7 pm to check in, meet some new people and get comfortable. The Seder will take about an hour and we welcome anyone to participate, sing or help conducting the service. We do need some children to ask the FOUR questions, in Hebrew as well as English. The more participants, the better - and the more enjoyable for all.
The full course dinner, with Gefilte Fish, Matzo Ball Soup, Matzos, Brisket with sweet potatoes, and wine costs $350 pesos or $35 USD per person, including tax and gratuities. Children aged 4-12 are half price. Children under 4 years of age are free.
The PVJC group is anxiously awaiting to be with each other again and to also meet new people from other parts of the world. We will need to collect deposits from larger groups and reservations from all who plan to attend, since the space is being set up for only 120 participants, so an early response would be appreciated.
