Congregation Ner Tamid promises modern take on Passover seder skit

BRADENTON -- A politically tinged skit will flavor the traditional entertainment at Congregation Ner Tamid's Passover seder at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, April 23, in the Lakeside South clubhouse, 3817 40th Ave. W., Bradenton.

The modern take on the Passover story will feature Meg Durshimer as Megyn Kelly moderating a Fox News-style debate between David Jacobson (Ner Tamid's treasurer and board member) as Moses, and Art Durshimer as pharaoh.

The Passover menu will feature beef brisket from Mattison's.

The interactive seder experience will be led by rabbinic associate Rena Morano.

Information: 941-755-1231.
