Or Hadash provides materials and leadership for Tikkuney Leyl Shavuot (traditional late night study sessions on Shavuot).  This document is a compilation of Jewish sources used during the Shavuot Project presentations.

 

The Pesach Project:  Cherishing Freedom

Or Hadash has materials for the Seder to help raise awareness of the necessity for action, and to provide a mechanism for getting in touch with people who want to work with existing organizations and projects.

Please use this insert as part of your seder this year.  Please give copies to everyone you know who will be having a seder.  We want the widest distribution possible.  There is a place in the seder insert for people to provide Or Hadash USA with their names, email address and phone number to be added to the alert.  Please note that if your seder participants do not write on the chag, please have them take the insert home with them.  We ask that you or they mail it to us at:
