List of Public Sedarim for 5764

The Orthodox Union has compiled this partial list of Orthodox synagogues which are hosting communal sedarim in an effort to assure that every Jew has the opportunity to partake in a traditional seder this Pesach. This is a work in progress, other Orthodox congregations are invited to add their communal seder information to this list by e-mailing Rabbi Mayer Waxman at waxmanm@ou.org.

Inclusion on this list does NOT indicate that the seder meals are under the supervision of the Kashruth Department of the Orthodox Union.  Regarding such inquiries, please check with the local rabbinic leadership.
