The Humanist Jewish Congregation of Queens & Long Island is happy to announce that after a four-year hiatus, our Cultural Seder will be held on Monday, April 29 at La Baraka, and the community is invited.
Join us for a Seder experience like no other, with an original Haggadah featuring contemporary and traditional songs in English, Hebrew and Yiddish, poetry, prose and rituals old and new.
Paid reservations are a must: All inclusive: $60 per adult, $45 per child 12 and under, includes a gourmet Passover meal with unlimited wine (vegetarian option available). Space is limited, and no reservations will be accepted after April 22.
Cultural, or Humanistic, Judaism is a stream of Judaism that encourages individual thought and understanding in Judaism. Its relation to Judaism is through the history, culture, civilization, ethical values and shared experiences of the Jewish people.
We celebrate human knowledge, power and responsibility. We read, say and sing what we truly believe – in both Hebrew and Yiddish texts and English translations.
We view the Torah and other founding Jewish narratives as powerful myths that are important for Jewish cultural literacy, but not as history or divine revelation.
For more information and reservations, please call or text HJCQ at 718-428-3320.
