In this week's update:
  • Passover
  • Worship services
  • Coming up at Yavneh
  • In the community
 
Passover
The first night of Passover is April 3rd. Yavneh members have several ways to celebrate: 
  • On the second night of Passover (Saturday, April 4, 5:30 pm), participate in Yavneh's Un-Seder. We will be gathering at a member's home to enjoy leftovers from the first Seder, and we'll have an open-ended discussion covering unanswered questions from the Haggadah and other topics. Since we will be meeting in a member’s home, only a limited number of people can be accommodated, so be sure to promptly via email or on Meetup!
  • If you're looking for a more traditional Seder, Beth Meyer Congregation invites Yavneh members to join them on the first night of Passover at their Community Seder - register here.
  • Seder Match Up - do you have room at your family Seder for a guest or two? Would you like to be a guest at a Yavneh member's Seder? Contact Lewis and we'll try to match you up. 


Worship services
  • Kabbalat Shabbat Worship, Friday, March 20th, 7:45 pm: "The Balance Point between Purim and Pesach." 
Please remember to bring donations for the Food Basket or school supplies for Wilburn Elementary when you attend services.  NOTE - Wilburn is currently well-stocked with clothing supplies and does not need any more at this time. THANK YOU!
 
Coming up at Yavneh
  • Mitzvah Study Group meets this Wednesday evening, March 18, 7:30 - 9:00 pm. Contact Lewis for information/RSVP.
  • The next Home-Style Shabbat (aka DIY Shabbat) is Friday evening, March 27th, 6pm. Join the Yavneh community in a member's home for pot-luck Shabbat dinner, followed by a discussion of Abraham Joshua Heschel's book "The Sabbath". RSVP here.
  • Dinner with the Rabbi reconvenes on Sunday, March 29th, 6:30 pm in a new location, Sassool (formerly Neomonde). Join with Reb Raachel and Yavneh community members for food and informal conversation. Sassool is a vegetarian-vegan-lactose and gluten intolerance-budget friendly restaurant in North Raleigh, at corner of Strickland and Six Forks (www.sassool.com). Please RSVP by noon on Friday (3/27) via email or on Meetup.

Passover
The first night of Passover is April 3rd. Yavneh members have several ways to celebrate: 
  • On the second night of Passover (Saturday, April 4, 5:30 pm), participate in Yavneh's first annual Un-Seder. We will be gathering at a member's home to enjoy leftovers from the first Seder, and we'll have an open-ended discussion covering unanswered questions from the Haggadah and other topics. Since we will be meeting in a member’s home, only a limited number of people can be accommodated, so be sure to RSVP promptly!
  • If you're looking for a more traditional Seder, Beth Meyer Congregation invites Yavneh members to join them on the first night of Passover at their Community Seder - register here. Please note: when you register, you’ll receive a form email that says non-Beth Meyer members are added to our waiting list. After you've registered, email Josh Orol, let him know you are a Yavneh member, and he will add you to the main list. (Contact Reb Raachel for scholarship info.)
  • Seder Match Up - do you have room at your family Seder for a guest or two? Would you like to be a guest at a Yavneh member's Seder? Contact Lewis and we'll try to match you up.
