SUMMARY:31st Annual Downtown Seder at City Winery
DESCRIPTION:31st Annual Downtown Seder at City Winery\nWednesday\, April 17th\n7 PM\nSpecial guests include Laurie Anderson\, Steven Bernstein\, David Broza\, Peter Yarrow\, AC Lincoln\, Richard Kind\, Judy Gold\, Alex Edelman\, Amichai Lau-Lavie\, Dr\, Benjamin Chavis\, Jr. and Terrance Floyd (George’s Brother)\, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander\, and Dr. Ruth and many more. \nRegister here >\nSince 1991\, City Winery founder Michael Dorf has produced this celebrity-driven interpretation of this ancient wine dinner party. This unique take on a divine tradition will open your mind and your senses. Happening Wednesday\, April 17 at 7PM\, with a very special lineup given the world today. \nThis annual tradition goes back thousands of years\, but our interpretive Seder transcends Judaism and takes the themes within the Passover story of tyrants and governments harboring lethal hatred for outsiders and immigrants\, the liberation struggles\, the histories of oppression\, bigotry\, anti-Semitism\, even pandemics and plagues represented in the timeless Passover story–and makes it relevant for our time. We need to remember our past and celebrate our freedom with this fun event that allows people to break bread (matzah)\, drink wine\, and laugh\, sing\, and contemplate the issues of our world. \nOur Seder’s have had many artists\, actors\, comedians\, political figures from Perry Farrell to Jerry Stiller\, from Dr. Ruth to Congressman Jerry Nadler\, from Al Franken singing “Go Down Moses” to Lou Reed reading Marley’s Exodus. Activist Ruth Messinger speaking about Darfur’s genocide to comedian Judy Gold’s annual rendition of Dayyenu. “Half postmodern religious ritual and half cabaret” -Jewish Learning Magazine; “More dreadlocks than yarmulkes\, with Lou Reed as the “bad child”\, Phillip Glass and more\, it felt like a cross between summer camp in the Catskills and a progressive jazz concert\,” -The New York Times\, April 27\, 1997 (That’s right\, been doing it a long time!) “The hippest Seder on Earth\, more deconstructionist than Reconscructionist” -The Forward \nPlant-based multi-course meal and at least 4 glass of vino included.

SUMMARY:Seder Queen 5782
DESCRIPTION:Seder Queen 5782: Moses of the City\nA Jews of Color-centered Passover Seder\, Lab/Shul style.\nWelcome to Seder Queen\, co-led by Marques Hollie and Associate Director and Ritual Leader Naomi Less with support from the Lab/Shul Ritual Team.  We are honored to premiere the Moses of the City Haggadah as our core Passover ritual tool\, created by artist in residence\, Luis Burgos along with live music\, poetry\, theater and heart-centered powerful conversations centering the perspectives of Jews of Color.  \n \nSeder Queen reflects the diversity of Judaism and lifts up the work of Jews of Color in Jewish spaces that have been historically white. We hope that other Jews of Color will experience Seder Queen as transformative\, and know that they are not alone. We hope that white Jews will be moved to do the work of liberation alongside JOCs and know that JOCs are integral to Jewish continuity and to Jewish communal spaces. \n \nBuy your own Moses in the City Haggadah directly from Luis’ website.\nThis seder is generously supported by a grant from Jews of Color Initiative\, an organization which works to build a truly multiracial\, anti-racist Jewish community in which Jews of Color can experience joy and reach their full potential and belonging as leaders and community members. Lab/Shul is also proud to partner with Ammud: Jews of Color Torah Academy\, JOC Mishpacha Project\, LUNAR\, and Mitsui Collective for this evening.  \nFeatured Ritualists   \n\nAri L. Monts (Ammud)*\nDr. Harriette Wimms  (JOC Mishpacha)*\nGen Slosberg (LUNAR)*\nRebecca S’manga Frank (Performance Artist) \nYoshi Silverstein (Mitsui Collective)*\nBen Freeman (Lab/Shul)\nKoshin Paley NY Zen Center for Contemplative Care \nNaz Georgas (Cordoba House)\nRabbi Noam Lerman (Lab/Shul)\nRev.

To support this commitment\, we have devised a sliding scale which aims to take into account both the inequitable distribution of wealth in our society as well as the value of the labor required to offer this program. Lab/Shul is committed to resource redistribution\, which is why we ask you to think deeply about your relationship to class in general. If this is the first time you’ve been asked to consider class and wealth\, Seder Queen is a perfect opportunity to start! \nWe encourage participants to self-select into paying the amount that best correlates to your class position.  \nHere are two resources that we’ve found helpful to understand class in the U.S (thanks Amelia Mae Paradise and Franny Silverman for assisting our learning): \n\n“About Class” // Class Action\, a cross-class group working towards Economic Justice\n“Class distinctions and class brackets” // Resource Generation an organization supporting young people in equitable wealth\, land\, and power redistribution. This resource is helpful in discovering which class category you fall into.\n\nWe invite you to consider a Sponsorship level table or ticket if you fall into Tier 3.  \nMile Chai Club: A curated\, balcony level seating experience for young adults who have greater access to wealth. Consider this if you fall into Tier 2 or higher \nPartner Discount: Partnerhood works on the simple premise that each of us gives something of ourselves in order to get a whole lot more from each other. It’s designed to help create the deeply engaged\, cross-connected community you’ve told us you want. It’s about investing. It’s about flexibility. Interested in learning more about Partnerhood?

SUMMARY:OneTable Community Seder Matching!
DESCRIPTION:Seder Matching with OneTable\nFor many of us\, this will be our second year of Zoom Passover\, and it is so critical that we\, the Lab/Shul community\, show up for one another. That’s why we’re making it easy for you to open up your Zoom table to others for the first night of Passover! \n  \nIn partnership with HereFor.com\, a program of OneTable\, we’ve made it easy for you to post and search for seders hosted by Lab/Shul Partners. \n  \nAs a bonus\, if you post your Seder and email sam@labshul.org by March 19\, we will send you items needed for your seder plate as a thank you! \nHow to Host\nIf you already have a OneTable account\, you can use the same login information for HereFor.com. Otherwise\, you’ll need to create an account. You can find step-by-step instructions for posting an event here. \n\nHow to Make Sure Lab/Shul Partners Can Find You\nThere are two important steps to make sure that other Lab/Shul Partners can identify your posting as one that’s part of Lab/Shul’s seder matching: \n\nUnder “Details\,” you’ll see “My event is for…” with a drop down list. Make sure that you click “Lab/Shul” on that drop down list!\nYou’re given an option to upload a cover image. Use this photo for your cover image so others will easily see it’s for Lab/Shul.\n\nIt’s important to know\, too\, that you can open up your table as much or as little as you want to. If you have room for one extra person at your seder\, you can set that limit on HereFor.com. If you want to host a seder just for Lab/Shul Partners and are open to as many people as possible coming\, you can also do that\, too! \n\nHow to Find a Seder\n\nGo to HereFor.com and click on “Browse Events” in the top right corner.\nTo the right of the search bar\, click on “Show Filters.”\nClick on “Areas.” You’ll see Lab/Shul on the list of options– it’s in alphabetical order\, so we’re between “Jews of Color” and “Men’s/Brotherhood.”\nClick “search” on the search bar at the top of the page. This will filter the events\, so you’ll only see events hosted by Lab/Shul Partners\, and can easily be matched with a seder.
