Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder

Join us for the 13th Annual Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder of the Atlanta Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC). Rabbi Larry Sernovitz, joined by Reverend Sean Smith and The Venerable Carole Maddux, will lead us through a seder program focused on alleviating food insecurity. Partake in a delicious vegetarian meal, learn, and come together with leading organizations in the community working on the front lines.

At 6 p.m., the Marketplace opens, filled with community partners that fight hunger and food insecurity every day. Come learn about their efforts and ways to be involved in their essential work. Immediately thereafter, enjoy the meal and program, including breakout conversations and diving deeper into ways we can make an impact on food insecurity across Metro Atlanta. Once again, we will be led by Rabbi Larry Sernovitz of Temple Kol Emeth, assisted by other respected clergy leaders.

The Seder, Hebrew for "order," is a ritual feast at the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover that includes reading, telling stories, eating symbolic foods, singing, and other holiday traditions. This year, the Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder takes place amidst several holidays, including Passover, Ramadan, and Easter. The Interfaith Hunger Seder follows Jewish tradition by sharing the retelling of the Israelites' escape from slavery in ancient Egypt alongside a delicious vegetarian meal and strays from tradition by inspiring a conversation about hunger in our community and the steps we can each take to address it.

AA is a proud community sponsor of this event.
