Join Tri-Valley Cultural Jews for a warm, welcoming (and actually enjoyable) Passover Seder and potluck in Livermore on Saturday, April 4.

We’ll retell the classic story–freedom, resilience, and yes…crunchy matzoh. Our Secular Humanist Seder keeps the tradition alive in a way that’s thoughtful, participatory, and open to everyone. Expect music, storytelling, and at least a few moments of “wait, this is actually really interesting.”

Our Seder starts at 5 PM, followed by a relaxed potluck at 6:30 PM–because nothing says “freedom” like finally getting to eat! (Address shared after you RSVP).

Whether you’re a Seder regular, a little rusty on the Four Questions, or just wondering what matzah actually tastes like, you’ll find a seat at our table. Come solo or bring friends and family–there’s always room for one more.

Tri-Valley Cultural Jews is an inclusive Secular Humanist community celebrating Jewish culture, history, and tradition with curiosity, warmth, and a good sense of humor. We also offer a Jewish Culture School (ages 5 through teen) and a personalized Brit Mitzvah program–because asking big questions shouldn’t stop at childhood.
