“THAT SENSE OF REDEMPTION, OF NEW BEGINNINGS, IS SHARED BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND JEWS AND PEOPLE OF ALL FAITHS”
“As Passover begins for our Jewish friends, we want to share our conversation with Rabbi Ron Symons from the Center for Loving Kindness – JCC Pittsburgh as he and his family prepare for tonight’s Seder. Rabbi Ron offers his hopeful optimism at the center of tonight’s meal, and this period of time for people of all faiths.”
During this time of uncertainty surrounding the Coronavirus, the Center for Loving Kindness – JCC Pittsburgh presents a new series called “Comforting Conversations”. We invite you to listen and share your feelings, as members of our team talk with members of our community about topics we believe you and your family may be dealing with right now.
To see all of the conversations, click HERE
Rabbi Ron Symons talks with Liz Miller, Chief, Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC Professor of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, about helping adolescents
Rabbi Ron Symons talks with Mile Clark of WTAE: “How Much News?”
Our first conversation is with Dan Leger, a beloved hospice nurse and survivor of the Tree Of Life tragedy. Rabbi Ron Symons talks with Dan about fear.
Join Rabbi Ron Symons and Melissa Hiller from the JCC PGH Center for Loving Kindness in a dynamic exploration of Passover art, Jewish values and loving kindness. In this celebratory season, when many of us are accustomed to sitting at large tables with family, friends, food and tradition, this year’s Passover Seder experience will be more quiet for all of us. That being said, just as the charoset of slavery is sweet, so too can our seders in the midst of Coronavirus be joyous.
Our conversations bring us together in communal exploration and kindness and might serve as conversation starters for your Passover table.
