As a non-denominational synagogue, Sixth & I offers a variety of Shabbat services and imaginative holiday celebrations. A dynamic group of rabbis - representing all Jewish denominations - lead services, teach classes, and interact with the community. Sixth & I recognizes that being Jewish looks and feels different for many Jews, and we honor this diversity by casting a wide net in our unique Jewish programming and religious services.

Jonathan Safran Foer
Date: Monday, March 19, 2012
Time: 7:00 PM
image Read each year around the seder table, the Haggadah recounts through prayer, song, and ritual the story of Exodus, when Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to wander the desert for forty years before reaching the Promised Land.

Now, Foer has orchestrated a new way of experiencing and understanding one of our oldest and sacred stories, with a new translation of the traditional text by Nathan Englander and commentary by major Jewish writers and thinkers Jeffrey Goldberg, Lemony Snicket, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, and Nathaniel Deutsch.

Illustrated by the acclaimed Israeli artist Oded Ezer, New American Haggadah is an absorbing prayer book that brings together some of the preeminent voices of our time.

Foer is the author of Everything Is Illuminated, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and Eating Animals.
Admission:

Tickets are $12 or receive 2 FREE tickets with the purchase of the book through Sixth & I ($30).
