About Panim's Rosh Hashannah Seder

About Panim's Rosh Hashannah Seder

About the Seder Rosh Hashannah of Panim Hadashot:
It is still not to late to join us for an amazing Panim Hadashot Rosh Hashannah Seder organized and ordered by Mary Engel. Mary has written a description of the seder. Below I have written out the seder-the order- of rituals so you can get a sense of how special this evening will be. The seder will be at the Talaris Conference Center in Laurelhurst on Monday, October 3rd at 6:00pm. To reserve a place, please call Dorothy Glass at 206 280-3715 or dorothy@panimhadashot.com.

"Our multi-dimensional seder will follow the three elements of the traditional Sephardi and Mizrahi Rosh Hashanah seder: chanting a series of verses from the Torah, making impassioned requests to God, and reciting blessings over eight beautiful and delicious foods that symbolize our prayers for peace, righteousness, safety, love, and other gifts It will also incorporating adaptations that honor women and culture-specific additions such as the Moroccan blessing over moonwater. Paced with lots of singing and rhythm, poetry, activities for children, teaching, and discussion, it will be a stirring experience, full of joy! Come bless and sing in the New Year with us!"
