Passover Seder Service & Potluck
2025-04-12 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
The Passover Seder retells the story of the Jewish people leaving Egypt 3,000 years ago: the first successful slave revolt recorded. It’s a celebration of freedom – and it’s a great opportunity for fellowship and connections. Rev. David grew up celebrating the Seder as part of his Jewish heritage and he’s delighted to share it with you: whether you have Jewish roots, and whether or not you’ve never been to a Seder before, you are warmly invited!
When: 6-8pm on Saturday April 12th. (We’ll eat around 7pm)
Where: Sky Room at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder, 5001 Pennsylvania Ave, Boulder, CO 80303
Childcare: Kids are very welcome; our nursery will be open but unstaffed.
What do I bring? Dinner is potluck — please bring food to share! While we won’t attempt to be rigorously kosher, Passover has a number of special dietary rules you’ll need to observe when bringing food:

No breads of any kind in any amount.
Nothing made with any wheat, barley, oats, spelt, or rye in any ingredient.
Nothing made with rice, corn, soy, millet, beans, peas, or other legume in any ingredient.
No pork or shellfish.

(Please note: if you do bring a dish with any of these items, we won’t be able to serve and share it.)
We kindly ask that you RSVP here to ensure we have enough food for everyone. Thank you, and we hope to see you there!
