2 For Seder - Virtual Seder
How to Host a Virtual 2 for Seder 
March 18th
7pm (ET)

At Take Action, we always talk about ways to build bridges to your neighbor. One easy way is to participate in 2 for Seder.

Invite 2 neighbors to their first Seder and give them an immersive and positive Jewish experience. For the rest of their lives, this will be a counterweight to negative stereotypes, tropes and misinformation they may hear in other places. 

This year, many of us will still be holding a virtual Seder - Take this class to learn how to make this experience engaging and immersive

Exploring Opera: Popular Paris 
Mon, Apr 26 
4-5:30pm (CT) 
 
Such a beautiful, romantic, historic city, it’s no wonder Paris is a popular setting for several operas! Embark on an operatic journey to Paris with popular San Francisco Bay Area instructor James Sokol, who will touch on an array of repertoire from beloved masterpieces (such as Puccini’s La Boheme and Verdi’s La Traviata) to rarely-staged gems (such Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots and Donizetti’s Ugo, Conte di Parigi) -- each set in "The City of Light!"  Audio & video performance clips bring the charm of Paris and the excitement of opera into the discussion! This is a fun and interesting exploration for both opera newcomers and long-time fans!
