Join GLOE 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. This year’s seder will be led by Rabbi Atara Cohen, Director of Jewish Life and Learning at the EDCJCC, and Rabbi Jake Singer-Beilin of Bet Mishpachah. We look forward to welcoming our guest speaker Gabriela Orozco, a spoken word poet, artist, and author, and the 2019 DC Youth Poet Laureate.
Hosted indoors at the Edlavitch DCJCC, the Rainbow Seder features 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 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.
We encourage attendees to take a rapid COVID test before attending our program and we welcome you to wear a mask if you wish.
