4. Passover Sedar in Mansfield

The Seder will feature discussion about Passover, delicious food, joyous singing, Matzah, wine and fun games for the kids. Rabbi Yossi Kivman, will spice it up with his humor and explanations.

Whether you were planning a Seder and would rather join the community this year or if you haven’t ever made a Seder or you are somewhere in between – the communal ‘home-style’ Seder is for you.

The Seder will go from 7:30pm until about 9:30pm.

IMPORTANT: There is an ‘open-door’ policy. Which means, that you can come and leave whenever you feel you need to. No questions asked.

Reflecting the economic challenges facing many, the pricing structure has changed to enable all who wish to participate to be able to attend the Seder. While there’s a suggested charge of $36 per adult and $18 per child, all participants are invited to make a donation of their choice, from one dollar and up.

The Seder must be reserved in advance, via the online reservation form at www.JewishMansfield.com/Seder or by contacting Rabbi Kivman at 508-339-8767.
