Why now?
This year, Passover comes just before the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. It also comes as a new and unique Passover Haggadah has just been published by a colleague of Rabbi Daniel, Rabbi Ellen Bernstein, the founder of the first Jewish environmental group, Shomrei Adamah.
Before COVID-19 threw a wrench into the plans, Temple Hesed was going to host one of 10 inaugural “Earth Seders.” Now, our seder has to go online, which, while it has its downsides, also means that we can be connected to presentations by Rabbi Bernstein and others from across the country. So we will have a Zoom Earth Seder on April 10th at 6 pm — which you can join from wherever you are!

What is an Earth Seder?
EARTH SEDERS understand that the freedom we celebrate on Passover depends on the earth’s well-being. If the earth and its systems are compromised, our freedom is compromised. Life itself is compromised. EARTH SEDERS are rooted in Rabbi Bernstein’s new Passover Haggadah, The Promise of the Land, which blends traditional text with a modern ecological sensibility. EARTH SEDERS offer an opportunity to deepen our connection to the natural world, and, to raise awareness, commitments, and funds for an environmental or conservation project.
Everyone who signs up — and all are welcome, from within the Temple Hesed community and well beyond, even for those living far away — will be given guides for what to do in their own homes as they join the seder, as well as the link to join the Zoom Earth Seder on April 10th.
