UHC sets Passover ‘Celebration’ for April 23

Following two years in the wilderness of fully remote Passover seders, United Hebrew Congregation will invite members back to the Vestry Room for an abbreviated hybrid Pesach “Celebration” at 6 p.m. Saturday, April 23.

The date, which falls on the final day of Passover, coincides with Student Rabbi Matt Derrenbacher‘s regular visit. Rabbi Matt will conduct the seder for virtual and in-person audiences.

Betsy Frank will officiate hybrid Shabbat services at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 15, the first night of Passover. UHC members will conduct their own at-home seders, according to family custom.

The April 23 event will run about 45 minutes and feature a limited menu. Please RSVP to Norma by April 15 at (812) 232-5988. Suggested donation is $10.

To request a Zoom invitation, contact Betsy, send a Facebook message or use our contact form.
