Kadima Passover seder
March 31, 5:00 pm
Prospect Church





This year our seder will be vegetarian potluck. Kadima will provide the ritual foods and wine. Audrey Ruhland is coordinating the seder, and if you can lend a hand, please contact the office. It takes a community to prepare a seder!

There will be small charge ($18.00 per adult and $8.00 for children ages twelve and under; children under age four, no charge) to help pay the rental fee.

The Haggadah we will use is beautiful, current, and equally relevant to Jewish history, our ancient traditions, and today. The seder will include rituals, songs, reflections, and lots of fun.

For purposes of planning, we ask for your RSVP no later than March 24th. Please indicate the number of adults and children who will attend.

Sunday, March 17  ·  around 4 pm (J Street Seattle will let you know the exact time when the theater notifies them)

Film - Harvard Exit Theater (807 E. Roy St.); Discussion - Roy Street Coffee House ( 700 Broadway E)

Screening and Discussion of the Oscar-nominated film The Gatekeepers

Join J Street Seattle for a special group screening and discussion of the Oscar-nominated film The Gatekeepers. Following the film, Israeli PhD candidate Yoav Duman, Palestinian arts educator and community activist Zaki Abdelhamid, and Seattle Film Festival Director Pamela Lavitt will host a discussion at a coffee shop around the corner. J Street Seattle has sold out of advance discount tickets. More tickets will become available on March 12 at the regular price. Sign up for the waitlist and J Street will email you with instructions for how to purchase tickets as soon as they are released. About The Gatekeepers: Charged with overseeing Israel's war on terror--both Palestinian and Jewish--the head of the Shin Bet, Israel's secret service, is present at the crossroad of every decision made. For the first time ever, six former heads of the agency agree to share their insights and reflect publicly on their actions and decisions. The Gatekeepers offers an exclusive account of the sum of their successes and failures. It validates the reasons that each man individually and the six as a group came to reconsider their hard-line positions and advocate a conciliatory approach toward their enemies based on a two-state solution.
