In 2015, the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia Vic) together with the United Jewish Education Board will be hosting a women’s Interfaith Model Passover Seder, the purpose of which is to provide opportunities for women of diverse faiths to specifically learn about Jewish festivals and traditions in a participatory experience, while at the same time promoting friendship and understanding.

We would like our participants to be girls about the age of 12 (Bat Mitzvah age) together with their mothers (or significant female such as grandmothers or aunts). In this way, we will be introducing young girls to interfaith dialogue, as well as sharing the richness of intergenerational  relationships and the passing on of family and faith traditions.

We envisage Jewish, Muslim, Christian (of different denominations) and other faiths being represented in significant female-daughter pairs.

We are seeking girls (about 12 years of age) and their mothers (or significant female), who  would like to participate in such an event. (Unfortunately we only have space for one adult per student)

The event will take place at 5pm on Sunday 22 March 2015 at NCJWA(Vic) premises 131-133 Hawthorn Road, Caulfield.

The evening includes a light kosher vegetarian meal incorporating some Passover/Pesach dishes. Participants will also receive a booklet explaining Passover. 

The cost will be $10 for girls and $15 for adults.

The event is supported by the Victorian Multicultural Commission.
