Celebrating Together: A PJCC Passover Lunch

12:00 - 1:00 PM

We have a lot of special food traditions around Passover. The one most people know about is “no bread” or items made with regular flour. Want to know why? We’ll tell you the whole story, with examples of haggadahs (Passover seder books) to share.

Bring a bag lunch if you’d like (vegetarian or fish only) without the bread, and we’ll provide matzah and kosher-for-Passover snacks. Let’s celebrate together.
