Passover seders?

[jenskot.livejournal.com]

It's almost Passover!

Which I only just noticed, because I'm a bad Jew. But I'd like to take my mom, who's a good Jew, to a community seder on Tues if I can find tickets. My mom is elderly has some mobility issues, though, so while she likes prayers I'd prefer a relaxed enough scene where she could feel comfortable moving around if she needs to.

Can anyone recommend some synagogues in the Greater Boston or Camberville area that I could call and try to scrounge up last-minute tix? I'm thinking like the Jewish equivalent of a Unitarian church. I also can't afford like $50/pp, so fancy suburban places are probably out - even just some nice, welcoming people and gefilte fish on matzo would be fine. :P Thanks!

I thought that Eitz Chayim in Cambridgeport had a community Second Seder but I can't find it on their website. JewishBoston.com amd ShalomBoston.com may have useful suggestions.

I think the Tremont St. shul (http://www.tremontstreetshul.org/) is having one. Not sure how late they're selling tickets, though.

Oh yeah, online reservations were supposed to close yesterday, I'd better go do that. :-} People can still call the tremontstshul office though for availability, at 617-864-6388. Someone should be there most of this afternoon.

How conservative is the Tremont St shul? I saw the davening scheduled, and I thought that was only for orthodox (which, uh, I'm not)?

Tremont Street is Conservative, not Orthodox.

Edit: I guess I'd say they are Conservative in style -- their web site doesn't say they are actually a member of the Conservative movement. In any event, they aren't Orthodox.

The main minyan is very much conservative: fairly traditional liturgy, mixed seating and leadership. There is a small orthodox minyan that also meets downstairs.

The Dorchester Community Seder is on April 3rd, and costs $10/person. It's lots of fun, close to the T, and the matzah ball soup is amazing :) More details can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/ical/event.php?eid=367656634624

Hey, that sounds cool, but I can't see the page (even logged in to my FB account) - is the info on a website somewhere?

[ron_newman]

I don't know how to read this page either.

Hmm... sorry about that. It's not actually on the web independently, although next year I may suggest it's worth investing in a web page :) Here are the details copy and pasted:
