PASSOVER 2025 / 5785
Passover begins at sundown on Saturday, April 12th, and ends at sundown on Sunday, April 20th.
Passover is a wonderful time to welcome guests into our homes, especially for those who do not have a place to go for the holiday. If you have an extra seat at your seder table, please contact Sue Ellenby, susane@nsci.org. so we can help connect you with someone who is looking for a seder to attend.
At NSCI we will celebrate Passover with the Passover Morning Experience and study on Sunday, April 13th, 9:30—11:00 am, and a Passover Yizkor service on Saturday, April 19th, 9:30 am—11:00 am.
