Rabbi Randy Brown, Dept. of Pastoral Care officiated at the Jewish Passover Model Seder at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center April 18.
The Seder, Hebrew for order and arrangement, is a festive meal celebrated by Jews around the world at the beginning of Passover which runs for eight days.
Using the “Haggadah,” the holy book used to recount the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, Rabbi Brown led the community through the rituals, special blessings, commentaries, and songs that take place during the actual Seder. Traditional holiday food was served for all to try and enjoy.
Navy Chaplain (Capt.) Chris Hester welcomed all who attended, and talked about how some of the customs and rituals which take place during Passover directly and indirectly relate to those in other religions. Walter Reed Senior Enlisted Leader, Sgt. Maj. Dennis Waycaster thanked all for attending this special event.
Rabbi Brown asked the attendees to introduce themselves and share what freedom meant to them, and how thankful they were to share this special opportunity to build community.
This year Passover begins at sundown April 22, and ends the evening of April 30.
