Seder in Scotland Creatively Scheduled

About 120 men, women and children attended a Pesach Seder arranged by Chabad in Glasgow, Scotland. Running a Seder in Scotland is challenging, as the earliest time to start the Seder this year was 9:20pm! In light of this, the Seder schedule was adjusted to accommodate the late hour.

The main meal was served before Yom Tov began. From sunset until nightfall there was an interval which included Seder explanations, songs and Yom Tov candle lighting.

The actual Seder began at nightfall and ended after 11pm, to the delight of all the guests.

Following the Matza and Morror, egg and salt water, Dessert and Fruit Platters were served, followed by Benching and the conclusion of the Seder.

The entire Seder meal was organized by Mrs. Sora Jacobs; the kitchen on the night was organized by Leible Sziewicz from Melbourne, Australia; and the Seder was conducted by Rabbi Chaim Jacobs, Sora Jacobs and Rabbi Mendel Jacobs.

The atmosphere was tremendous, with many people already pre booking for next year. Other Chabad Lubavitch Sedorim were held in Edinburgh, organized by Shluchim Rabbi Pinny and Gitty Weinman, directors of Chabad on Campus, with a large crowd attending both nights.
