Learners’ Service
It can be hard to enjoy services – to find the prayers spiritually elevating or comforting – when you're unsure where we are in the book, what comes next, when to sit or stand, what to say or sing or just skip. That's why our shul has a proud tradition of learning services, to help everyone find his or her place.

We wish we were hosting our usual public Seder, but that is obviously impossible. Under normal circumstances, we would not choose to have a seder through electronic media, but these are not normal circumstances. Given all the social distancing, we need some communal togetherness. So we are going to Zoom Through the Haggadah for those who want it. On Thursday, April 9 at 7 pm please join us at https://anschechesed.org/2ndSeder. No prior registration is necessary.

Please join Rabbi Kalmanofsky and Hazzan Hirschhorn for Havdalah, followed by a taste of the Song of Songs, through singing and text study. We traditionally read this passionate and multilayered text on the intermediate Shabbat of Passover following the Torah reading. This year - different from all others - we are still finding a way to drink deeply from the well of our tradition, and fill our hearts with joy and love emanating from these sacred verses.

Please also contribute to our seasonal Book of Remembrance.
