Close to 100 people joined Chabad of Sudbury's Community Seder's, with 65 on the 1st night and just over 40 for the second Seder. By far our biggest and best ever, participants enjoyed great food, company, song, inspiration and more. The Seder's were jointly led by Rabbi Freeman of Sudbury and his father Arieh Freeman of London, UK, along with plenty readings by Seder participants and some songs and customs from around the world.
In addition Chabad of Sudbury ran a Seder at the Wingate of Sudbury for Jewish Residents and their families. The Seder was especially moving as Holocaust survivors along with family members and others shared a beautiful Passover Seder together.
While we were initially challenged on how we would fit 65 for the 1st Seder, after playing around with the seating layout a couple of times, we eventually got it right.
A big thank you to Shayna Freeman who worked for several weeks in planning the Seders and Passover Programs and also catered all the food for the Seders. In addition we would like to thank Arieh and Helen Freeman (Rabbi's Parents) for all their hard work and efforts in preparing for the Seder in the run up to Passover.
