Hill Havurah’s Adult B’Mitzvah 2025 Cohort is hosting a special Kabbalat Shabbat to read Arthur Waskow’s ‘Freedom Seder’. Join them for a potluck dinner to discuss how inequities in contemporary society are reflected in the founding story of the Jewish people.
BACKGROUND
During Passover 1969, on the anniversary of King’s death, 800 people gathered in the basement of Lincoln Temple, a Black church in Washington, D.C. to hold a Passover ceremony to highlight and discuss inequality, racism and more. The event was led by Arthur Waskow, who famously wrote a ‘guide to the Passover story’ (a ‘Haggadah’) specially for the evening that has become known as the “Freedom Seder”.
