Although we can’t join together for Passover the way we would like this year, we’re still excited to celebrate the holiday together as a community! Check out this year’s digital Passover schedule below.
We have some wonderful resources to help you stay safe and have fun while celebrating Passover this year. We invite you to explore the bottom of this page for music, online Haggadahs, recipes, and more!
Join the Inclusion Committee and your friends from Temple Jeremiah on Wednesday, March 24th from 7:00 – 7:45 p.m. for a pre-Passover celebration! We’ll gather via Zoom for songs, prayers, the Passover Maggid, and a special activity.
This event is free, open to the public, and is appropriate for all ages and abilities.
Please join us on Sunday, March 28th from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. for Passover worship over Zoom. Come together with clergy and fellow Temple Jeremiah members to honor the holiday and rejoice together.
On Sunday, March 28th from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. join your temple friends and community for an eSeder unlike any other, sponsored by Temple Jeremiah’s Sisterhood, and open to everyone.
We’ll sing, we’ll reflect, we’ll tell jokes, we’ll celebrate, and remember Dayeinu: we really do have enough!
Please share your favorite seder ritual, recipe, or reading! We are excited to compile your various traditions. Send them to Rabbi Rachel.
Please join us on Saturday, April 3rd from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. for Passover worship, Tefillah, and Yizkor over Zoom.
We miss you Jeremiah Buddies! In an effort to connect (until we can gather together in-person again) we are putting together monthly activity bags and videos for all of you to enjoy.
This month, the Buddies Bag will be filled with crafts, coloring pages, and activities for your toddler or preschooler to celebrate Passover! Then check out the “episode” of our online Jeremiah Buddies on the Temple Jeremiah Youtube page. Please contact Shira with any questions.
As their students begin hybrid, in-person, learning on Monday, April 5th, Whittier Elementary School staff would love it if students came to school and each had their own whiteboard, marker, and eraser, to engage safely with the in-class learning. The majority of their students’ families are not working and to ask parents to purchase all of these materials can be stressful, so any support goes a long way!
An Amazon List has been created to easily place your order to help Whittier. Simply click here to browse the requested items. Choose the item you want to purchase, and then choose whether you want it shipped directly to Temple Jeremiah or shipped to your home for you to bring to the temple.
All items need to be at the temple by April 4th for delivery to Whittier. You can drop off the items when you come to pick up your Passover bag or drop off Feed the Hungry lunches.
Thank you for helping these students get back in the classroom! Contact Lori Kash or Dina you have any questions.
