Help prep for the Uptown Havurah seder today!

Dear friends,


Want to help Chaya & Jon cook for the seder?

Have a dish you want to make for the seder but don't have a kosher for passover place to prepare it? (Please bring your kosher for passover ingredients with you.)

Want to hang out with fun people and have wine (Chaya's mother taught her that wine must go in the food and the cook!)?

Great!! Come over and cook (and otherwise help with seder prep) today!

(There will also be a fun baby who will need attention.)


Just a friendly reminder that if you're attending our 2nd night seder (@ the Sulmans), we ask you come over to their place today (at noon) to help prepare the food.

May everyone have a joyous week and a fabulous Passover!

Shavua tov,
Raysh

Planning meeting tonight + preparing for Passover

Hey people,

Just a friendly reminder that tonight at 6pm @ Roat Osha is our planning meeting. Come help plan and drink, all while feasting on gluten-ous culinary delights (unless you are gluten-free!) before Passover rolls around.  And speaking of Passover, make sure to let us know if you're coming to our seder. You can find out more and reply here. Or if you're not on facebook, simply leave a comment and we'll fill you in with more.

As you prepare for the seder, you can check out free online audio files of 'seder standards' at this awesome site.

Also, if you still need to go shopping for Passover, we're coordinating an excursion to the SLP Cub Foods this Wednesday, so drop us a line if you're interested in coming along and showing Manischewitz they are still very much loved.
