[HANASHIR:8269] Re: Women's Seders

[DurlKare <DurlKare...>]

In Nashville, I am delighted that we have begun the tradition of having an 
annual women's seder.  This will be our third year!  It's especially nice to 
see women from all the congregations get together and celebrate our common 
values and hopes, with music and readings and of course delicious 
desserts.... I think strengthening the community of women is key to Jewish 
continuity.  

My only concern is that year after year, the same ALL MALE band accompanies 
the singers, although the entire audience is composed of WOMEN ONLY!  Kind of 
ruins the whole point, but not being one of the organizers, I have not been 
able to convince the powers that be to change this!  (Trust me, Nashville has 
plenty of female Jewish instrumental talent available!)
