The Seder, the Hebrew word for order, is a ritual feast at the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover that includes reading, telling stories, eating symbolic foods, singing, and other holiday traditions. This year, the Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder takes place amidst several holidays, including Passover, Ramadan, and Easter. Our Interfaith Hunger Seder follows Jewish tradition by sharing the retelling of the Israelites’ escape from slavery in ancient Egypt alongside a delicious vegetarian meal, and strays from tradition by inspiring a conversation about hunger in our community and steps we can each take to address it.

Hunger Seder?
The Event
Sustainable Nutrition is a Human Right
We are excited to welcome the interfaith community of Atlanta to our Seder table to be part of this special event, highlighting the tireless work toward food justice occurring in the Metro area.
At 6 p.m., the Marketplace opens, filled with our community partners that fight hunger and food insecurity every day. Come learn about their efforts and ways to be involved in their essential work. Immediately thereafter, we will enjoy our meal and program; we are looking forward to breakout conversations and diving deeper into ways we can make an impact on food insecurity across Metro Atlanta. Once again, we will be led by Rabbi Larry Sernovitz of Temple Kol Emeth, assisted by other respected clergy leaders.
