Once we were slaves in Mitzraim. Now we are free ... All who are hungry, let them come eat!

KHL is joining the San Francisco Night Ministry and other SF communities for SFNM’s first ever Street Seder. This is an invitation to celebrate Passover through acts of service, serving dinner for hundreds of our neighbors in the Mission neighborhood and helping create an open seder where all who come are welcome.

Come in person or help prepare ahead of time.
