Our discussion leaders:
Avi Robinson, a fourth-year rabbinical student at Yeshiva University,serves as rabbinic intern at Congregation Talmud Torah Adereth El on E.29th St. in Manhattan. He will lead the seder this year at NYU MedicalCenter. Avi is a rabbinic intern at CLAL: The National Jewish Center forLeadership and Learning.Presentation: Why do we really lean on this night? How about dipping? Bytracing the Roman origins of many seder customs, we will examine whethercelebrating national freedom requires Jewish cultural distinctiveness.

Donna Kirshbaum, a 4th year rabbinical student at the ReconstructionistRabbinical College in Philadelphia, serves congregation Beit Tikvah inBaltimore, MD this year as a sabbatical replacement rabbi and is arabbinic intern at CLAL in NYC. Previously, she was a professionalcellist, a co-owner of a dairy farm in the Missouri Ozarks, and for manyyears, an instructor in Ancient Greek and Latin in a Catholic womens'college and several other educational settings.Presentation: Although it would be nice to feel truly free atPesach -- free just for a couple of nights, even, from the feeling that weare never doing enough to repair the world's wrongs -- the seder'snarrative compels us to think of the ways we participate in harmingothers. Donna will trace the source of one common food on the Sedertable and invite the kahal to think about the web of relationships andattitudes it represents.
