Two young female rabbis with a group of female rabbinical students from the USA and Israel took part in the annual Passaover Seder held by the Lithuanian Jewish Community on April 3 this year. The young Reform rabbis-in-training, who say talking about their beliefs does not in any way contradict anything in the Torah, stand in favor of sexual equality and diversity in Judaism.
The rabbis and students plan to attend a special Seder being held at the Television Tower on April 5 in Vilnius as well, an event organized by Amit Belaite, the president of the Lithuanian Union of Jewish Students and an active public Jewish figure in Lithuania.
Members of the public are invited to attend this seder with the two female Reform rabbis. The location is the Paukčių takas cafe, which is most of the way up the Vilnius Television Tower located at Sausio 13-osios street No. 10. The seder costs 10 euros (and the cost of riding the elevator to the cafe is included) and will begin at 6:00 P.M. on Sunday, April 5, 2015. Dinner will include soup, the tradition Passover foods, a hot dessert, wine, coffee and tea. There will be surprises, singing, ageless traditions as well as new friends made and a wonderful small bash of a party. The food will be kosher.
