Sinclair Community College’s Office of Campus Ministry plans to host an event titled, “Teaching Seder at Passover,” set to take place April 21.
The Seder will be led by Bill Gronefeld, a member of the Temple of Israel and former president of the Dayton Trialogue/Interfaith Forum of the Greater Dayton.
According to Campus Ministry, “Traditionally, Passover is meant to commemorate the deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.”
Passover is customarily celebrated for eight days, with special prayers and symbolic foods at home, starting with the Seder, which Campus Ministry describes as “a ritual meal that re-enacts the ancient deliverance and emphasizes the freedom of the Jews under the guidance of God.”
Campus Ministry also said, “the event will be interactive. Participants are asked to stay through the entire event to fully benefit from the experience.”
The event is free, however, any interested participants are asked to register prior to April 16.
The event is open to all students, staff, faculty and administrators. For more information on location and times, or to make a reservation, contact Interfaith campus minster Barbara Battin barbara.battin@sinclair.edu.
