A Message for Masorti Communities around the world

We are excited to invite you this Sunday, April 5at 7:00pm Jerusalem time / 12:00pm EDT to our virtual Global Gathering for Healing: where Masorti/Conservative communities around the world will convene for a 30-minute Gathering for Healing broadcasted on Facebook Live.

This collaboration and gathering of high profile and talented presenters from Israel, England, Brazil, and the United States, is the first of its kind and Masorti Olami is thrilled to be co-hosting it with Masorti Israel and USCJ. We hope you that will help spread the word as we want to share with friends and loved ones a message of community building and connection at a time when we all are being kept apart. Together with our co-hosts and other movement partner agencies, we see this is a crucial opportunity to reach thousands of people in a heartfelt way heading into Pesach.

The gathering will feature internationally-known clergy and award-winning musicians, such as David Broza, Rabbi Naomi Levy, and Joey Weisenberg. It will also include highly respected and inspirational rabbis from around the world such as Rabbi Adrian Gottfried (Brazil) and Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg (UK). At a moment when we cannot be together for Seder, we will connect, rejoice and celebrate our Judaism across continents and time zones.

As you plan to attend and share with others, please note the following:

08apr7:30 pmFirst Night Seder via Zoom

Event Details

Dear friends,

The idea of families coming together for a Seder is central to the way that Jews have celebrated Pesach for centuries. The thought that this year, so many families around the world will be unable to have a Seder together is a source of great sadness. But while it may not be possible to physically bring people together right now, we can use technology to connect and make sure that as far as possible, people do not have to celebrate Pesach alone.

While the use of electrical systems on Yom Tov is not ordinarily permitted, Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, Senior Rabbi of Masorti Judaism, has ruled that this year only, the use of Zoom and other such means may be permitted on Seder night if this is the only way to enable the inclusion of those who would otherwise be alone and isolated.

Therefore this year The Carter family will be hosting a Seder using Zoom and invite anyone who wishes to, to join us at this Seder. Candle lighting and the Seder will begin at 7.30 and we aim to start the meal at 8pm so if you wish to join us, please click on the link below:

Join The Seder via Zoom: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/211489972

The Seder will finish around 9.30-10pm.

If you have never used Zoom before, please watch this short video that will show you how to download and use it: https://youtu.be/RyPIsH3UtlY

Note that during the Seder, we will simply have the meeting running and will not be touching the computer. If you have a webcam and microphone we will be able to talk to and see each other and we will ask people to join in with various parts of the Seder if they want to but if you just want to watch or listen along for as much or as little as you like, that is absolutely fine.

Just so we know who to expect, we would be grateful if you could let us know if you will be joining us.

With best wishes for the health and safety of you and your families,

Mark and Juliette Carter
