Temple B’nai Shalom continued its recent growth with a well-attended Passover Seder that drew more than 100 participants, marking an increase of approximately 60 percent over last year’s event.

The Seder featured storytelling, music, and prayers led by Cantor Mitch Martin, whose upbeat style helped create a welcoming atmosphere for attendees. The meal was catered by the Century Diner, which served a multi-course Passover dinner.

In addition to regular members, the event attracted visitors from the surrounding community, with several choosing to join the synagogue following the celebration. The strong turnout reflects the synagogue’s expanding presence among Century Village East residents.

Temple B’nai Shalom observes a full calendar of Jewish holidays and traditions, including Purim, Tu B’Shevat, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur. Weekly Shabbat services are held every Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Activity Center, followed by a social gathering with refreshments. The synagogue also hosts monthly Lunch and Learn sessions covering a range of topics.
