Shabbat Shalom and Chag Urim Sameach. Tonight we are attempting something that I don't believe has ever been done before - a Chanukah Seder. We are incorporating Shabbat and Chanukah blessings and songs, and adding in some new ways to honor the holiday as modeled by the Passover Seder, which was itself modeled after the concept of a Greek Symposium. We encourage full participation in the seder as a whole, but that also means opportunities to talk amongst yourselves at your tables, shouting out responses to things in this haggadah, coloring in pages, and using all your sense to immerse in this celebration.

This is not your average prayer service.
