7:00 pm – Celebrate Shabbat with TAO with Rabbi Marc and Rabbi Amy Pessah (Followed by Passover Oneg Shabbat)
TAO – Temple Adath Or – is a community of light. A Kabbalah-based community, TAO is led by Rabbi Marc Labowitz, a visionary leader bringing his warmth, wisdom and wit to us at weekly Shabbat services.
This evening, Rabbi Amy will be talking about: Passover: The Power of Story and Memory
Each year, we celebrate Passover, retelling our Exodus from Egypt. In the Haggadah, we read the words instructing us to see ourselves as if we personally were freed from Egypt. Rabbi Amy Grossblatt Pessah will speak and teach about how we can live out that call for empahty in our lives today. Rabbi Pessah will discuss the power of storytelling and memory to enhance our collective and personal understandings of what it means to be a Jew today.
