Temple Am-Echad in Lynbrook held an unusual women’s Seder on March 9.
The event was a joint effort of three congregations, Temple Am-Echad, Central Synagogue of Nassau County in Rockville Centre and Temple Beth Emmet of Hewlett. Women with no synagogue affiliation also attended. They ranged in age from the very young to 95-year-old Miriam Fine of Lynbrook, who has been a member of Am-Echad — the former Temple Emanu-el — for 75 years. Her parents were also members of the congregation.
