5:45 pm: “Charoset Chop-Up” in the CBT Kitchen
7:00 pm: Shabbat evening Pre-Passover ServicePassover arrives early this year—with the First Seder on Wednesday, April 5.
We will begin on this March 31 Shabbat evening at 5:45 pm in the CBT Kitchen as we sample some Passover wines together and participate in a “Charoset Chop-Up!” Bring ingredients (chopped, prepped, and ready to go) to demonstrate and put the finishing touches on your family’s favorite Charoset recipe. You can either participate or just taste everyone else’s goodies…or both! Our “Festival for the Taste Buds” will be followed by a Shabbat evening service at 7:00 pm.
Come to this Shabbat evening double-header before Pesach to prepare your hearts, your minds, and your stomachs for this most-celebrated festival of the entire Jewish year.
7th Annual Women's Seder
Saturday, April 8, 2023, 1:30-3 pm
Please save the date for our Annual Women's Seder!
As part of the Women’s Seder, the Social Action Committee will once again be partnering with the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Round Table to collect gift cards for survivors of domestic violence and their families and Gifts of Hope Unlimited (GOHU).
Just as the Jews left Egypt to escape persecution and death, survivors of domestic violence also face their own journeys to freedom. Join us as Rabbi Dr. Lisa Eiduson leads us in exploring the relationship between the two journeys to freedom. We also look forward to welcoming back guest speaker Susan Altman, who will bring us up to date on the "final chapter" in her sister Stacy's story.
Families transitioning from a shelter appreciate your donation of Gift Cards. Your generous donations help the clients of the shelters and transitional housing programs of REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, The Second Step, and VoicesAgainst Violence.
Gift cards from Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreen’s, Market Basket, Hannaford, and Stop and Shop in denominations of $20-$50 would be very much appreciated.
Donations may be made online to Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable, and checks are also welcome. (When making donations online, please indicate that the donation is for the Women's Seder/Shower for Shelters.) The money received will be divided among the organizations listed above along with the gift cards.
This year in addition to collecting gift cards for Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Round table, the Social Action Committee is supporting GOHU, which partners with, and provides ongoing support and resources, to individuals and families impacted by relationship violence. For those who want to donate an item, GOHU accepts gently used small appliances such as coffee makers, electric kettles, food processors, pots, pans, dishes, flatware, microwaves, and toasters. Thanks for considering!
Attendees are encouraged to share their favorite Passover dessert!
Advance registration is required.

Rabbi Eiduson's Tea Time Talks
Wednesday, April 12, 2023
2-3 pm
In-person or via ZoomFor our next Tea Time, let's talk a walk down memory lane....
Let's get ready for Passover together by viewing the film Streit's: Matzo and the American Dream (2017)! (1 hour 20 minutes)
Whether we call it Matzo, Matza, Matzos or Matzot...this documentary highlights the legendary Streit’s Matzo factory in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where Jewish traditions are kept alive and well in the manufacturing of matzo. A fifth-generation family business, Streit’s was founded in 1916 by Aron Streit, a Jewish immigrant from Austria. The Lower East Side at this time had a large presence of Jewish European immigrants, so businesses like Streit’s flourished. However, as the years have passed and the neighborhoods surrounding Streit’s rapidly gentrified, the factory stands as an emblem to a long-lost age of New York’s history.
In direct contrast to the evolving nature of New York itself, Streit’s still operates much in the same way as it did when it was founded. The flour and water are churned in ovens as old as the factory itself, and only Sabbath-observing Jews are allowed to touch the matzo dough. The story of the Streit family is one of tradition and resilience.
CLICK HERE for a full list of sites where you can access this film. You can find it on Kanopy, and it's free on Amazon Prime for subscribers.
Hope you are able to join in the pre-Passover fun on March 29!
Please note: We will NOT meet on Wednesday April 5 as we will be getting ready for our Seders that evening!
