‘A Taste of Refuge’ feels like a traditional Passover supper but fresh music and poetry—focusing on themes of refuge—throw new light on the original Passover story and echo today’s patterns of exodus and exile. Our honoured guests are refugees and people seeking asylum who are sharing their stories with us.

At a time when there are more refugees than ever in human history and when we are inescapably aware of this situation, we’ve created ‘A Taste of Refuge’ collaborating with The Separated Child Foundation, which supports lone refugee youth. This year we’re online in our Salon space.

We don’t use the word ‘refugees’ or ‘asylum-seekers’ when we think of the Children of Israel escaping Egypt but that’s what we were then. And we Jews have been there many times in many ways over our long and winding history. Now we can see the resonance with refugees in our times.

Join us for this special mid-Pesach Seder and let it inspire and enhance your own experience of this special season

You can join us here on Zoom or watch the seder streamed on Facebook Live. We’ll open the Salon at 6.45 pm, with music, and begin the Seder promptly at 7pm. It will end no later than 9pm.
