First Night Passover Seder

Join our community at the JCCSF on the First Night of Passover. Our very own Rabbi Batshir Torchio, and longtime friend and song leader, Jonathan Bayer, will guide us through an evening filled with ritual, song, and stories.

We will be serving up a traditional dining experience with symbolic foods and mouthwatering favorites – from charoset to matzah ball soup. If you’re vegetarian, gluten-free, or a child, we have a meal that will suit your needs. Bring the family, invite some friends, tell a neighbor, and come gather around a table with us.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS YEAR’S PRICING
We are so glad you’re interested in joining our Seder Dinner. If you’ve joined us before, you may notice this year’s pricing looks a little different. Our goal is to provide a meaningful and memorable experience for our guests. To make that happen we work with an established catering team, transform our theatre space into a dazzling dining room and work with a professional service staff to meet your needs. The hospitality industry has seen a rise in costs, especially for food, staffing and rentals – which is why our pricing has increased too. We want to be as inclusive as possible, so we offer multiple pricing options and trust you to select what’s right for you.
