Please join us where we will enjoy our lunches and discussions from our respective spaces. We will be discussing Chapter 6.  In addition, Rabbi Belle Michael has invited us to be her virtual guests and learn about Passover Seder. Through this opportunity, we will come to her table and learn with about the symbolism of the Seder plate and the Hagada- retelling of the founding story as the Jewish people. We will also peek into her kitchen for live presentation of traditional meals. We will begin the lunch with time to share a meal, then engage in discussion of Chapter 6, and conclude with this exciting learning experience from Rabbi Belle. No registration required. Zoom: https://clu.zoom.us/j/505223176 Call In: +1 669 900 6833, Meeting ID: 505 223 176
