The Carl and Dorothy Bennett Center for Judaic Studies will host its annual interfaith Passover Seder on Tuesday, April 3, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Arrupe Center's McGrath Room in the Egan Chapel of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Dr. Ellen Umansky, Professor of Judaic Studies, assisted by Carolyn Rusiackas, Assistant University Chaplain, will lead the Seder. The ceremony will include a brief explanation of the historical and theological connection between Passover and Easter, a tasting of the ceremonial foods and readings from the Haggadah.
