Why the pineapple:
(from The Washingtonian)
Along with typical elements like hard-boiled egg and bitter herbs, many are including pineapple on the Seder plate.
Each item on the seder plate is meant to be a symbolic reminder of generations of bondage. The introduction of tropical fruit into the traditional Jewish meal is meant to as a reminder of modern-day oppressed peoples. “In American colonial times, the pineapple was a symbol of welcome and prosperity,” Rabbi Deborah Waxman, the president of Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, says in a YouTube video. “They were special gifts because of the great labor and expense required to ship them from the tropics. As we think about those in the midst of crossing through danger and into unknown lands, we aim to bestow upon them the gifts of hospitality and a sweet welcome.”

An important note about parking:

If you are able to walk a block or so each way to the crosswalk, PLEASE park at the Intown Community Church across the street and then walk down to the light/crosswalk at Houston Mill. There will be a security guard to help you cross the street as well.

Please Do NOT just run across Lavista road. even if you are late. Cars whip around the bend and cannot see you.

Do not park in the driveway unless you require handicapped accessible parking.

There is some neighborhood street parking available, but if you are physically able to walk from the church, please do. Let’s leave neighborhood parking for people who would have difficulty walking from the church.
