Vallarta Jewish Community Passover Seder
 Mel Bornstein - PVNN
| | If you plan to attend RSVP to Mel Bornstein at (322) 221-5659 or barmelsouth(at)pvnet.com.mx. | |
The Passover Seder is a special Jewish ritual that 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 2009, it begins sundown on Wednesday, April 08 and ends Thursday, April 16. The 2009 Seders fall on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
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 at The River Cafe on April 8th, starting at 6 pm.
A full course dinner of typical Seder food and kosher wine will be served for $500 pesos per adult, including tax and gratuities. Children's prices are determined by age. The PVJC will furnish the Haggadahs, and all may participate in the reading.
We are ALL looking forward to sharing this Holiday together. Reservation are necessary to insure that you will be included, especially if you have a group that wants to be seated together, so if you plan to attend, please send an email to me at barmelsouth(at)pvnet.com.mx, or call me on my U.S. cell at (847) 209-1448 or in Puerto Vallarta at (322) 221-5659. |
