This Friday, stay home from Synagogue. Yes, we're serious. Stay home. But...get two matzot (it is Pesach, after all). Invite a dear friend or someone you think would love a Shabbat dinner. Or just have dinner with your family, but make it special with candles, matzah, and blessing your children. Here is a resource with the songs and blessings before the Friday night meal. This Hospitality Shabbat comes right in the middle of Passover, so here are a few discussion questions!

1. We have just celebrated the Seder and this Shabbat commemorates the crossing of the Sea of Reeds.. What are you hoping to be redeemed from this year? What do you want to be saved / freed from?
2. The Four Questions is one of the highlights of the Seder. What are some questions you have this year?

After Shabbat, report back to any of the clergy or send an email to Rabbi Booth. Who did you have over? How was it? What resources or materials might have made it an even more special evening? Enjoy your meal; let them eat matzah!
