Women’s Seder

A Women’s Freedom Seder: Our Journey Towards Community. Join us for the 10th anniversary of this event!

The JCC Women’s Seder is a celebration of modern Judaism that celebrates the role of women in the 21st century, both how far we’ve come and the obstacles that still exist for our sisters both in the Jewish community as well as in the secular community. Our Seder occurs yearly every spring before Passover.

The Jewish Community Center is proud to collaborate with the women from Beth Abraham Synagogue, Beth Jacob Congregation, Hadassah, Temple Beth Or, and Temple Israel.
