Religious School Students Learn the Four Questions
Learn to Lead a Seder with Rabbi Tilman
Rabbi Tilman will offer two online sessions for our community, to explain how Seders are structured and offer some advice on leading a Seder for the first time. Please join him at either of these two sessions and bring all your Seder questions. We’ll cover the same material in both sessions so join whichever one better fits your schedule. They’ll also be available online afterwards in case you can’t join either session live.
