Social Action projects to support MUST Ministries (10:00-11:00)
We will be making place mats for Hope House, writing messages and decorating cards for seniors, creating hygiene kits for their shelter, and more. Activities will be accessible for all ages, and you can come and go within the hour based on the other activities.

Interfaith Couples' Workshop Session 1, featuring Rabbi Melinda Mersack: Building Bridges and Shared Futures (10:45-11:45)
Navigating life as an interfaith couple comes with unique joys and challenges. This workshop is designed to create a safe, welcoming space for couples to explore their values and strengthen their connection. Through guided discussions and interactive activities, we will work to build a shared vision for the future with practical strategies and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of incorporating Jewish experiences into your lives. This workshop has three parts, enabling you to build relationships with other couples like you. Rabbi Melinda Mersack, a national thought leader in interfaith family engagement, will lead the first session, and Rabbi Foster will lead the other sessions on February 9 and March 9.

Art Project (11:00-11:45)
Create a meaningful, collapsible centerpiece to add to your Passover Seder table. This project is adaptable for all ages and abilities. Younger children will be paired with a helper if their parents attend the Interfaith Couples' Workshop that is concurrent.
