Join GLOE and Rabbi Atara Cohen, Jewish Life Director of the EDCJCC and Rabbi Jake Singer-Beilin of Bet Mishpachah Synagogue for this annual event to celebrate Passover through an LGBTQ lens.

Now in its sixteenth year, the National Rainbow Seder is one of the nation’s largest and longest-running Passover seders for the queer Jewish community and its allies, is presented by GLOE – GLBTQ Outreach & Engagement at the Edlavitch DCJCC and our 2024 partner: Bet Mishpachah Congregation, Adas Israel Congregation, Den Collective, Embassy of Israel, Nice Jewish Boys, Nice Jewish Girls, Capital Qvellers, GatherDC, Young Leadership of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, Washington Hebrew Congregation, Sixth & I, Keshet and A Wider Bridge.

Hosted inside at the Edlavitch DCJCC, this year’s program will focus on the theme of Building Generous and Resilient Community Across Difference and will feature a full Passover seder complete with a specially-commissioned Haggadah (the Jewish text containing the Passover story) retelling the traditional tale of Jewish triumphs of resistance alongside the hard-fought progress made by the LGBTQ equality movement over the past decade since the National Rainbow Seder’s inception.

We’ll enjoy a special Passover meal as we read our own Haggadah and perform its festive rituals with the Jewish LGBTQ community and our friends.
