On Sunday, April 2, the 
Downtown Synagogue 
held its annual Partnership 
Seder with Breakers 
Covenant Church/Bethel 
Community Transformation 
Center. This special 
Passover seder is rooted 
in community, justice and 
freedom. 

The program included a 
custom Haggadah created 
by Rabbi Ariana Silverman 
and Pastor Aramis Hinds, as 
well as small and large group 
discussions, which were 
followed by a delicious meal. 
Both communities look 
forward to this Partnership 
Seder every year.
