Passover Seder Draws Big Crowd and High Praise at Century Village East

Temple B’nai Shalom welcomed nearly 70 guests for a lively and meaningful Passover Seder held on the first night of the holiday in the Century Village East Party Room. The event, supported by Cen Club and the Century Diner staff, was widely praised by attendees and has sparked interest in making it an annual tradition.

Led by Cantor Mitch Martin, the evening was highly interactive. Guests took part by reading from the Haggadah and joining in traditional Passover songs. The warm and festive atmosphere left many attendees asking if the temple would host a Seder again next year.

CenClub provided the sound system and arranged the room setup, while Randy and the Century Diner team—affectionately known as the Rainbows—served a traditional holiday meal complete with chicken soup, matzos, chopped liver, gefilte fish, wine, and entrées including salmon, brisket, or roast chicken.

Temple B’nai Shalom continues to build community through both spiritual and social gatherings. In addition to religious observances, the synagogue hosts Broadway-style shows, original plays, comedy nights, movie screenings, monthly Lunch and Learn events, and even an upcoming Caribbean cruise in January aboard Celebrity Cruises.
