Attending the Women’s Seder on March 9 with her daughter, Carole Bachenheim, a congregant of Central Synagogue, described it as a wonderful event. Approximately 110 women participated. There was a strong sense of sisterhood she said, and women of all ages from the actual sisterhoods in three participating synagogues— host Temple Am Echad (the former Temple Emanu-el) in Lynbrook, Reconstructionist Temple Beth Emeth in Woodmere and Central Synagogue of Rockville Centre, were able to mix, mingle, meet new people and enjoy the camaraderie.

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.

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.
