Our third annual Liberation Seder
JVL, BSST, IJV and JJP welcome you to our third annual Liberation Seder on 18 April at 7.00 with Maxine Peake and Peter Beinart
Our Liberation Seder will be held on the fourth night of Passover this year. For some of us this service continues a lifetime’s experience of family and community Seders; for others it will be a first chance to share in a Jewish tradition and learn how it can be an inclusive and outward-looking celebration.
Seders express the hope for a better future and freedom from oppression for all.
Our Seder will again be led by Rabbi Danny Rich.
We are delighted to announce that
- Maxine Peake and
- Peter Beinart
will be giving readings this year. There will be contributions from Palestinians and Israelis and we will be announcing the names of more contributors shortly.
We have prepared a Liberation Haggadah, the readings we use for a Seder. This will include details of the food we eat at the Seder table and how to prepare these special dishes. We hope you will prepare some of them so you can be fully involved; none are difficult.
An important aim of our Seder is to raise money for the work of the British Shalom-Salaam Trust and we hope you will make a donation.

Happy Passover
God bless you all my Jewish brothers and sisters.
JVL provides a valuable antidote to the Jewish nationalist approaches to Seder night.
