The Passover Meal, the Seder, marks one of the major feasts on the Jewish calendar. Passover is also important for Christians since the story of Israel's Exodus from Egypt is a principal element of many Christian observances, especially during Holy Week. The Seder meal is a wonderful way for Christians to have a direct experience of Jewish spiritual life, and for both communities to rededicate themselves to a world in which slavery and injustice are no more.

The SJU Jewish-Catholic Seder is a full catered kosher meal. Participants will join in the prayers, songs, and celebration in as close to a traditionally Jewish form as possible. A limited number of seats are available for 50 Christians and 50 Jews - first come, first served - so register as soon as possible!

SJU students may register for free! Special thanks to a generous
donation by Dr. Nancy R. Fox in memory of her mother Helen F. Fox, who loved
having family and friends gathered at her Seder table and who was thrilled to participate
in the first Jewish-Catholic Seder at SJU in 2011.
