Community Passover Seder
2026-04-01 19:30 - 22:00 UTC
Celebrate Passover Together
Pesach is more than a holiday.
It is the story of a people who discovered freedom, faith, and purpose — a story we continue to tell every year around the Seder table.
At the Charlotte Torah Center, the Seder is not just a meal.
It is an evening of tradition, warmth, meaningful conversation, and connection as we relive the journey from slavery to freedom together.
Join us for a beautiful and engaging Community Seder with delicious Passover cuisine, Shmurah matzah, the four cups of wine, and insights that bring the timeless story of the Exodus to life.

N'shei CTC Presents : The Journey of Tisha B'Av
2026-07-14 20:00
Class 1: When G-d Seems Hidden

Tuesday, July 14 | 8:00 PM https://us02web.zoom.us/j/770959734
There are moments in every life when we quietly wonder:
Where is G-d?
Tisha B’Av invites us to explore that question—not only through the story of our nation, but through our own lives. Together, we’ll discover how the Torah understands moments of hiddenness, why Tisha B’Av is ultimately a journey of hope, and how even the darkest chapters can become the beginning of redemption.
Whether this is your first meaningful encounter with Tisha B’Av or you’ve observed it for years, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation of one of the most profound—and surprisingly hopeful—days on the Jewish calendar.
Join us for an inspiring evening of Torah, storytelling, and meaningful discussion.
