EVENT REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
Unfortunately we are at capacity for the event and we're not accepting additional RSVPs, but you can still bring the spirit of our Freedom To Thrive campaign into your Passover by downloading our new Haggadah supplement. We wish you a happy, healthy Pesach and look forward to seeing you soon.
If you have RSVPed to the event, here is more information:
Where: We'll be just inside Prospect Park at the Bartel-Prichard Square entrance. The entrance is one block away from the F/G train station at 15th Street - Prospect Park (not a wheelchair accessible station). The B61 and B68 buses also stop within 1 block of the entrance.
What to expect/food: There will be a program lasting about an hour, and then we will eat! There will be vegetarian/vegan dinners, along with a limited number of strictly kosher meals (vegan & meat options) and a limited number of halal meals (vegetarian & meat options).
What to bring: Bring something to sit on — a blanket or sheet; dress warmly; if you have some charoset, bring it — we will have a limited supply. Bring bottled water or another beverage (no glass bottles please) — we will have a limited supply. If you have favorite Seder plate items or other meaningful items from your ritual practice, bring 'em!
Access: There are sidewalk curb ramps at the traffic circle leading to the park and the park entrance is at street level. We will have a limited number of folding chairs for folks who can't sit on the ground. We will have volunteers who can help you to and from your seat, help you get to a car or nearby bus, and support you around other access needs. If you have any questions or have a specific request regarding access, let us know using this link.
