SUMMARY:Climate Justice Passover Seder
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Climate Justice Passover Seder on April 2 at The Pryde! \nEveryone who says climate change and energy empires can’t be overcome can look to Exodus for guidance on how to do the impossible. (And if we could leave Egypt under the guidance of that hothead Moses\, maybe perfection isn’t a necessary condition for progress.) Our seder will focus on lessons that speak to how we can emerge from bondage\, throw off our multiple pharaohs\, and build something worth preserving–for all of us. \nThis will be a vegetarian potluck (no beef\, pork\, chicken\, or fish). Vegan preferred if possible (no dairy or eggs). Please do not bring anything made with wheat flour aside from matzah or matzah meal. Please let us know if you can bring charoset\, maror\, or karpas (bitter herbs). \n\nREGISTER HERE. After you register\, we’ll send you an email for you to let us know if you plan to bring a dish to share\, and if you have any dietary restrictions. \nNeed a recipe or an idea? Let us know! \nWe are honored to host our Passover seder this year at The Pryde\, Boston’s first LGBTQ+ senior housing community. \nApril 2 at 6 PM\nat\nThe Pryde\n59 Harvard Ave.\nHyde Park\, MA 02136 \nPARKING: There is on-street parking\, and also a municipal parking lot in front of the Boston Public Library next door to the Pryde.\nPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Commuter rail stations on the Franklin Line (Hyde Park Station) and Fairmount Line (Fairmont Station) are a few blocks away. So are Boston busses #39 and #24.
