THE PERFECT PASSOVER HAGGADAH WITH CANTOR MARGOLIUS

Passover is the most celebrated Jewish holiday in America, and while you are invited to be our
guests at Touro Synagogue’s seder, many take on the task of creating the seder that will be enjoyed
by their friends and family. The Haggadah is the family guidebook, and there are hundreds of
variations available to match the diversity of the Jewish community. We will explore how various
Modern Haggadot share iconic parts of the Seder, with an eye towards choosing a Haggadah that
will provide the perfect spiritual nourishment to go along with your meal at Passover.

CHANTING THE TORAH (PART I) WITH CANTOR MARGOLIUS

Experiencing the Torah is one of the most profound spiritual gifts in Jewish life. We hold the Torah,
parade it, hear it chanted, and study it. But chanting from a handwritten scroll is an unparalleled
experience. In this class you will learn how to understand ta’amei hamikra— the trope symbols —
and chant the Torah. This class is an essential starting point for those interested in adult Bar/Bat
Mitzvah. Prerequisite: ability to sound out Hebrew consonants and vowels. Suggested materials
donation $15.
