MLJC Passover 2017

February 20, 2018 - The Mother Lode Jewish Community will be holding two big celebrations this month, a Purim Party - with an “Out of This World/Space Traveler” theme, scheduled for the evening of Saturday, March 3rd in Murphys, a Passover Seder scheduled for the evening of Saturday, March 31st in Sonora.

Purim, The story of Esther and Hamen

Purim is a festive Jewish Holiday that commemorates the defeat of Haman\'s plot to massacre the Jews as recorded in the book of Esther.  The MLJC’s annual Purim Party is a potluck dinner affair for the entire family, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with live music and a chance to participate in, or enjoy the antics of, the MLJC Thespians …as well as eat lots ‘n lots of Hamentashen!  Attendees are encouraged to come as their favorite space traveler.

Passover - Moses, Plagues and the Parting of the Red Sea

Passover is considered a “major” Jewish holiday, an important spring festival that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery.  The MLJC’s Seder will be held in Sonora on Saturday, March 31st, beginning at 5:00 p.m.  This is the second night of an 8-day holiday.  Rabbi Andra Greenwald will conduct the Seder, followed by a traditional Passover meal.  

For more information about either of these gatherings, call (209) 533-1650, email: motherlodejc@yahoo.com or check out the MLJC’s website at MotherLodeJewishCommunity.org.   

There is no charge for the Purim event, just need to bring a potluck dish.  The rates and registration deadlines for the catered Passover Dinner are posted on the MLJC’s website, along with optional online registration and information where you can mail a check.  A calendar of future events through June of this year can also be found by clicking on the events tab.

The MLJC’s mission is to provide opportunities and events that nurture a vibrant and enduring Jewish identity, culture and community in the Mother Lode, drawing its members from Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa and Tuolumne counties.  New members and guests are welcome.  We’ve been growing in recent years; come check out why!
