All of us here at the Wimbledon Synagogue are continually seeking opportunities to elevate holiday observances and celebrations. This year we hope that our festival services and gatherings around the Seder table will help to add additional meaning to your Passover celebrations.

Communal Seder (2nd night)

The Synagogue’s Communal Seder will be held this Passover on the second night. Rabbi Adrian Schell is leading a traditional Seder and there will be something for everyone! Please join us for good food, traditional songs, stimulating discussion and a fun evening for all ages. Do bring friends along too — including those who aren’t members of our Community

The price for Synagogue members is £30 for each adult (or child over 13) and £15 for each child aged 4-13. Under 4’s are free.

The price for non-members is £36 per person for adults and £18 for children aged 4-14. Under 4’s are free. NB.Member price also applies to non-members who are spouses/partners of members. Please note that payments must be made before the event. There are no post-event payment options.

The meal will include vegetarian matzo ball soup, eggs, salmon, salads and a vegetarian option. Please contribute a dessert or cut up fruit.

Omer Counting

Beginning with the second night of Pesach we count the Omer until we arrived in our calendar at Shavuot. To help you with the counting, we have prepared for you a leaflet with a calendar, the blessings and the numbers (available in the Shul and here: https://www.wimshul.org/counting-the-omer/ ). Traditionally the Omer is counted in the evening, after sunset.

All of us in the office of the Shul wishing you a peaceful and happy Pesach 2023
