Passover

Living one’s life focused on a cure for disease can actually take away from living the life we are trying so desperately to prolong.

Passover begins tonight at sundown. But this year, the coronavirus pandemic has caused much upheaval in the observance of the eight-day holiday and its traditions.

Temple Israel of Riverhead is hosting a Passover Seder led by Rabbi Michael Rascoe tonight. Services begin at 7 p.m. followed by Seder.

Passover is an eight-day festival celebrated in early spring that commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt.
