Welcome to our Seder! Join CJM and our partners for an untraditional seder to remember. We’ll read from our own community Haggadah, clink glasses over stories old and new, connect over charoset and horseradish, and find inspiration around the table! Enjoy music by song leader Rachel Lanman & Jerry Tolk, guitar and percussion. Must be 21 or older to attend and present a valid ID at the door.
