We will begin with our morning celebration of the universe\, study Torah\, and then have a celebratory environmental seder. All with great teachings and music led by Rabbi Cat Zavis and Musical Director Ami Goodman.  \nThe seder will involve enjoying various fruits\, helping us connect with the beauty and bounty of our planet. \nIf you join us on Zoom\, we encourage you to get some of the relevant fruit and grape juice or wine (some red and white) so you can participate fully in the experience. If you join us in person\, we will provide the fruits and juice. The tradition is to move from less permeable fruit to more permeable. All you need is one fruit for each of the following stages:  \n\nFirst\, those with tough shells and soft edible inside (e.g.\, walnuts\, coconuts\, pomegranates\, or melons). \nSecond\, fruit with a soft outside but hard inside (e.g.\, peaches\, dates\, apricots\, olives\, cherries\, dates\, plums\, etc.). \nThird\, fruit that is soft both on the outside and the inside (e.g.\, strawberries\, figs\, blueberries\, pears\, grapes\, apples\, etc.). \nIn the 4th stage\, we will visualize a higher level of connection to the earth and the cosmos (no fruit needed!)\n\nYou only need one fruit for each of these stages. If you don’t get them\, then just imagine them when we get to each stage. And at each stage we also drink some grape juice or wine . \n9:30 am PST:  Shabbat celebration of the universe10:30 am PST:  Torah study: Beshalach – God continues to harden Pharaoh’s heart and sends Pharaoh and his army after the Hebrews.
