Food Preparations for Freedom Seder Yields Healing to Salvation for Survivors

The Freedom Seder for survivors of abuse, is the brainchild of the Voices of Justice, and has taken off with an emotional and overwhelming response. Donations for food, and donations for money from all over America are simply awe inspiring. During this season of Galus-to-Geulah (from captivity to salvation), survivors have joined together and bonded over the preparations, which continue to be gargantuan.

As the potatoes were peeled and the onions were chopped, emotions of long suppressed feelings of shame, anger, and abandonment by loved ones and the community resurfaced, but in a new healthy way. As the kugels were baking and the horseradish was flavored, the friendships and feelings of acceptance have taken root.
This event would not have been possible if Sherree wouldn’t have offered her magnificent commercial-sized kitchen in Lawrence. With enough room for everyone to command their own counter space, and an unlimited variety of kosher for Passover equipment and paraphernalia, this preparation is a pure culinary treat. Along with the therapeutic properties of interpersonal connections and validations, this first annual event has blossomed into something larger than life.
A special Yasher Koach to Bina who arranged a carpool for the volunteers, and for Rivkie who offered to tackle the 6 cases of chicken, with a smile! Yasher Koach to Yanky and Motty, for peeling and chopping vegetables, that took two van-rides to get to Lawrence!

YASHER KOACH TO MS ANNIE for making pan after pan of kugel and stuff and cordinating the entire cooking and shopping. Yasher koach Shmuel and yanki for schlepping and driving, smiling and patiently waiting. What a zechus!

A SPECIAL THANKS TO CONG BNEI ISREAL FOR HOSTING THE SEDER AND THE MET COUNCIL OF JEWISH POVERTY FOR ALL THEIR ASSISTANCE AND FOOD IN MAKING THIS SEDER A REALITY
