About this Event
Pesach Seder 2026 3rd April – An Evening of Fun, Frogs, and Freedom
It’s that time of year again—our community Pesach Seder is approaching, and we’re excited to celebrate together. This year’s theme is green, in at least four different ways, inviting us to explore liberation from a fresh and growing perspective. Expect warmth, storytelling, community, and a touch of frog‑themed fun (symbolic only!).
Venue
York St John University – On‑site Chapel
This is a new venue for our Pesach celebration and for some of our future Shabbat services. If you haven’t been before, you can find directions and the campus layout here:

Bring‑and‑Share Meal
We will continue our traditional bring‑and‑share format. Please bring:
- A vegetarian or vegan dish with no grains.
- If you follow Sephardic traditions and include rice, corn, or beans, please label your dish clearly.
- Green desserts are especially welcome.
- All food must be pre‑prepared, served cold, and clearly labelled for allergens.
Please bring your dish in its serving container, with any serving utensils needed. There are no washing‑up facilities, so please take home any non‑disposable items.
We will provide Seder plates, matzah, and water.
To help us balance the meal, please let us know what dish you plan to bring, by emailing; [email protected]
