Every year the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia (Vic) runs a Model Passover/Pesach Seder for women of different faiths. Explanations are given about the traditions and customs of this eight-day festival which commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. This year, the event will occur on Sunday 22 March 2015 in Caulfield.

Women have the chance to also share experiences and stories from their own faiths and cultures and in this way, friendships are created and a greater understanding and respect for each other’s heritage is created.
This year we are planning an intergenerational focus so would like our participants to be girls about the age of 12 (Bat Mitzvah age) together with a significant female in their life such as mothers (grandmothers or aunts).
In this way, we plan to introduce 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 mother-daughter pairs. We welcome the community to participate in this unique experience. Well known teacher and educator Frances Prince will facilitate the evening.
The event is partnered with United Jewish Education Board and supported by the Victorian Multicultural Commission.
The event will take place at 5pm on Sunday 22 March 2015 at 131-133 Hawthorn Road, Caulfield. The evening includes a light vegetarian meal incorporating some Passover/Pesach dishes. The cost will be $10 for girls and $15 for adults.
Places are strictly limited and bookings are essential.
