Celebrate the beauty of Sephardic tradition with our community
פורים
Purim celebrates the miraculous salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia, as told in Megillat Esther. Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai courageously intervened to save our people from Haman's wicked decree. It is a day of immense joy, gratitude, and togetherness.
In the Sephardic tradition, Purim is a time of grand celebration. Families and communities gather for festive meals rich with Middle Eastern flavors, lively music, and heartfelt camaraderie. The reading of the Megillah is chanted in the beautiful Sephardic melody, connecting us to generations past.
Join us for a grand Purim Mishte (feast) featuring traditional Sephardic delicacies, joyous singing, and celebration for the whole family!
פסח
Pesach commemorates the Exodus from Egypt, when Hashem delivered the Children of Israel from slavery to freedom. For eight days we relive this foundational story, eating matzah, removing all hametz from our homes, and retelling the Haggadah at the Seder.
The Sephardic Pesach experience is uniquely rich. From the Seder table adorned with traditional dishes like haroset made with dates and nuts, to the melodious chanting of the Haggadah in the Sephardic nusach, every detail carries the warmth and heritage of our ancestors from across the Middle East and North Africa.
Pesach services will be held throughout the holiday. Members and guests are welcome. Contact us for the full schedule of services and community Seder details.
