Engage the congregation and community in a family Second Seder service and dinner. Seder was lead by Rabbi Joshua Gruenberg with programming and execution by Brotherhood members. Brotherhood provided logistical and financial support for the event.
The overall goal of the program is to encourage families and individuals to come together in a welcoming and communal environment to celebrate and participate in a Second Passover Seder. We wanted to provide a venue and opportunity for those that may not have had the ability to participate in a Second Seder on their own. In addition, it was an event in which we learned more about the Passover holiday, with an example of how to experience and joyfully celebrate our heritage.

Self Assessment
This event has continued over the years, except when Shabbat does not allow for preparation. It has been greatly attended and welcomed. We had approximately 175 participants at the 2023 event. Plans are being made for next year's Second Seder.
This program has been a great success. The congregation and community now look forward to the Second Seder as a yearly Brotherhood event. It gives Brotherhood members an opportunity to reach out to prospective members for future activities.
This program meets all of the FJMC goals of Leadership, Innovation, Community and Inclusion. It is a very open and welcoming opportunity for the Brotherhood, synagogue and the community at large.
