A Passover Message from Our President....
Passover is one of my favorite holidays and this year it comes a bit earlier than in past years (March 30th is the first seder), giving us just about a month of preparation.
Ridding our homes of chometz, preparing the menu for the seders, buying the special foods that are eaten once a year are all part of the "Passover Ritual.” On Passover we are commanded to tell the story of the Exodus, eat Matzah (or unleavened bread),and refrain from eating or owning Chometz. At the end of the Seder we recite words of hope:"La Shanah Habah Bi-Yirushalayim", Next Year in Jerusalem.
On behalf of the Officers and Board of Directors, I would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and unleavened Passover-Chag Sameach.
Rosalyn B. Abrams, President.
Passover Services: 1st 2 Days:Saturday, March 31st - 9:00amSunday, April 1st at - 9:00am;
both followed by a Passover Kiddush.
The Last 2 Days: Friday, April 6th - 9:00am
Saturday April 7th both at - 9:00am
both followed by a Passover Kiddush.
Yizkor will be recited on Saturday (the 7th)
