SUMMARY:Israeli Dancing - Drop In
DESCRIPTION:Israeli folkdance is a joyous folk art form that is easy to start and difficult to stop. It draws from many cultures and expresses itself in dances that range in complexity and speed. See this article for more information. \nJoin hosts Adele\, Lani and Mitch and a friendly friendly group of people that gathers periodically on Zoom or in person to enjoy the folkdances of Israel! \nWe mostly dance around a circle so no partner is required. We have a large repertoire of beginner-friendly dances. New dancers are encouraged to come at the beginning of the session to benefit from instruction. Please wear shoes with clean soles. \nThis program is free with an optional donation. \nRegister Here \nBecause of ongoing concerns about covid and other circulating viruses\, the group would greatly appreciate attendees wearing a high quality mask such as N95 or KN95. \n

SUMMARY:Community Passover Seder: Flavors of the Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Your Seat \n\nThe Passover Seder is one of those nights that so many of us carry in our hearts — the familiar melodies that rise around the table each year\, the recipes that taste better than ever this one time a year\, the feeling of a table stretched just a little longer to make room for one more. \nOn the second night of Passover\, we’ll gather for our OZ Community Seder\, led by Rabbi Ariel and Cantor Silverberg. It will be an evening of conversation\, music\, storytelling\, and some much needed joy. Together\, we’ll retell the Exodus story — both because it’s tradition\, and because the themes still matter: resilience\, hope\, and the stubborn\, beautiful human longing for freedom. \nAnd of course\, we’ll gather around a truly special meal. Dinner will be prepared by Chef Richard Witting of Firefly Catering & Isole Events\, with two menu options exploring traditional Passover foods from across the diaspora\, and desserts by his partner\, Anna Mays of Old World Baking. \nMore than anything\, this night is about being together — around the table\, in conversation\, in song\, in the comfort that happens within community. Whether this is your first Seder or your hundredth\, you are welcome. Bring a friend. Bring your ​whole self. Bring your appetite. \nPlease take a look at the menu and register by Friday March 27th. We’d love to have you with us. \n  \n\n  \nFrom North to West: Classic Ohavi Zedek featuring Ashkenazi-inspired\ndishes drawn from recipes shared by members of our own community —\nfood with memory folded into it: w.
